Literature Review
Concept of equality and diversity at workplace
According to their view point of Boehm and Dwertmann, (2015), equality & diversity at
the workplace is a very important concept which is very helpful in promotion of equal
opportunity for all the employees at the workplace. This is a tool which is used for
minimizing the discrimination practises which fare taking place in a organisation. This
concept of equality leads to a situation of satisfaction amongst employees which has a
positive impact on enhancement of efficiency of the whole workforce in every
organisation. Every individual posse a right as well as a obligation while they are working
in a particular organisation. It is necessary that in every single organisation there are equal
number of opportunities which are being provided to the staff members which leads to a
sense of equality among them. On the other hand diversity is also a very popular concept
nowadays which has a link with advancement of opportunities for all humans working in
organisation. This is also has a relation with equal rights for every single individual
working in the organisation.

Advantages attain by implementing equality & diversity practices
According to view of Erickson and et. Al (2014) equality and diversity is a concept which
is related with large number of benefits which is very helpful for smooth functioning of
various business functions of Aston Martin Lagonda. It is also said that Aston Martin
Lagonda equality & diversity has a very important role in retaining of the staff members

working n the organisation has been provided fair opportunities and they are treated
equally in all the circumstances. This is very helpful in keeping a satisfied and a happy
workforce who will have a better contribution in attainment of organisational objectives.
This also ensures that management team of every company makes sure that each individual
is being treated fairly and in equal manner. This means that there is no probability of any
kind of discrimination which can affect organisation based on gender, age, disability, caste,
creed or any other such type of basis which can have a negative impact on the productivity
level of any employee.
Various strategies which help in executing equality & diversity at workplace.
According to the views of (Ewoh, 2013), there are large number of strategies which help
in promotion of a culture of inclusiveness and diversity in every workplace. It is also analysed
that one important aspect is the cross cultural communication which plays necessary role in the
organisation. If the management of a company is aware with culture, background and is very
concern for all the employees who are working in their organisation then it will lead to a
situation which will create a positive working environment both for employer and employees.
This has a increase contribution towards achievement of laid objectives in every organisation.
Also, when the management of a organisation is ware with background of their employees then it
becomes very easy for them to satisfy their employees as, they will be able to easily asses
requirements and demands of their employees and then satisfy them accordingly. Overll
environment of organisation plays a very important part in order to enhance efficiency of all the
staff members.
