organization is a critical thing as the management in on organization oversees all the activities in
the firm such as managing the employees and managing the business resources(wood et

business goal. The managers in a firm also control processes so as to make sure the firm is
working toward its purpose and to oversee risk that may occur as a result of employees’ activities
such a loss from a business transaction or provision of better working conditions of the workers
to prevent risk from occurring such as employees hurting themselves during the work
process(Tayri, Sayce, hands, 2015). The management should also provide measures to safeguard
the lives of the employees in case of an accident. To achieve the goals of the firm, the managers
should analyze both individual and group variables to understand the nature of the employee you
have and the whole firm in general. The process of analysis will enable the firm to understand
what input is supposed to be introduced and measures to be undertaken to ensure that the

setting. Individual variables can also mean features like gender, education level, age, work
experience, religion or even races of different employment. All these individual variables are
significant to any business as they determine the success of the firm. A firm with a better
combination of employees with better variables enjoys the fruit of better work, efficiency and
low chances of error in firm’s operations(Reb ,Atkin ,2015). The following examples show the
impact of individual variables on work activities in the Pike River Mine accident.

The term work diversity is the existences of employees from different types of employees
with various features from a mixed race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and ability(Pereira,
