MAIN BODY
TASK 1
Why it is necessary for organisations to manage diversities among their staff
Diversity in organisation refers to the extent at which the organisation members are
different from each other in terms of age, religion, gender, race and education. Diversity among
the members leads different styles of carrying out the operation because every individual has
own experience and knowledge (Gunter, and Grimaldi, 2021). It is important for business to
manage diversity among the members in order to have effective and healthy work environment.
It can create both positive and negative impact on the performance level of the organisations.
People from different cultural enables the employees to learn new things and enhance their
knowledge area. People with different experiences and creative knowledge brings the innovative
ideas in the organisation which contributes towards the organisational growth. By analysing the
differences between members of the organisation, managers organised training and development
sessions for them in order to fill the skill and knowledge gaps. It builds skills and area of
specialisation of the individuals which helps in performing the tasks effectively and efficiently. It
is considered as good avenue for the organisation in terms of the success and growth. It is
important for managers to not perform discrimination between employees in term of age, race,
education and experience. They should motivate them and provide proper guidance and
knowledge of the activities where they lack. This will help the employees to contribute their best

efforts towards the working of the organisation. Managing diversity enables the business to take
the necessary actions regarding the practices which creates the negative impact on the mind.
Practices can be in terms of the education, work experience, skills and culture. Maintaining
proper relation with employees and involvement in decision making process enables the
managers to provide psychological safety to employees. This will help them in free from
depression, anxiety and organisation politics.
CONCLUSION
From the above explanation it has evaluated that diversity in organisations refers to the
difference among the members of the organisation. It is important for mangers of the firms to
manage the diversities practices in the business. Employees should not be discriminated on the
basis of their culture, race, religion and education. Managing diversity helps the firm to have
healthy working environment which restricts the conflicts and discrimination among members
of the organisation. It directly helps in contributing towards the growth of the company.
Discuss the challenges which Sainsbury's would face in managing the diversity among the
members
Diversity a term which refers to the differentiation among members of the business.
There are various types of diversity challenges faced by Sainsbury's are described below:
Communication issues- Every people have different communication styles from each
other. Sainsbury's hires the people who do not follow English as their native language, this
creates the miscommunication (Turner, 2019) It gets difficult for the managers to handle the
language barriers, style and preferences of the individuals. Sainsbury's managers find it hard to
coordinate with people who have hearing loss in order to follow conversation of the
organisational meetings. Some people in the organisation follow informal communication
networks which decrease the scope of formal networks. Every people come from different
backgrounds and they follow their own languages like some people prefer English as their
second language.
Mental and physical disabilities- In organisations many employees have disabilities and
they are not physically good. For Sainsbury's it gets difficult to manage the necessary resources
for the people who have physical disabilities. For example- arrangements of wheel chair ramps
