LO 2
Literature review
Theme 1- Comprehending equality and diversity concept
According to Thomson, Wei and Swallow, (2019) diversity and equality are the key
elements of business success and growth within specific sector. Equality refers to the act or
behavior towards existing as well as new applicants at workplace. It is all about assuring
everyone has a fair or equal chance to grow and get success while working in big firm. It is about
not treated differently and discriminated against because of characteristics. It is simply defined as

situations of being fair or equal and the same in quality, value, measure and other things. As per
view of Sanyang and Othman, (2019) diversity is key factor that impact in positive manner when
management implements it at workplace in context of workers. It is all about taking account of
differences between group of individuals and people and placing a good value on those
differences. It is also about considering and valuing staff different backgrounds and experience
and motivate and use those differences to develop an effective as well as productive workforce.
Equality at workplace is like making assure individual are taken fair chances to grow their
professional and personal career. Diversity increases the benefits of equality, it is important for
workers because it manifests themselves in creating a good reputation for business leading to
enhanced profitability.
Theme 2- Varied challenges at workplace offered by equality & diversity
According to Konrad, Yang and Maurer, (2016) diversity and equality in firm utilized to
bring different of obstacles for company which can be manage by firm to keep good environment
around workplace. There are many challenges faced by company offered by both elements that
directly impact on productivity and profitability of business rather than before. Employees
conflict at workplace is considered as one of the biggest challenge firm face offered by equality
and diversity, this barrier occur during procedure of implementing both key components in work
area.
Khanum, Dsouza and Dsouza, (2019) stated that implementation of equality and
diversity at workplace is really very important for management as it help to increase sale, create
inclusive work culture and enhance performance level of staff rather than past few years. But due
to varied challenges it is impossible for manager and other people to do so. Lack of
communication or communication downfall is considered as challenge that affects negatively
and decrease motivational level of workers. Poor communication in work area comes lower
productivity because workers do not have access to knowledge, individual and assets.
Theme 3- Significance of maintaining diversity and equality at work area
Nachmias, Aravopoulou and Caven, (2019) discussed that in orders to build strong
workforce at workplace management must maintain equality and diversity which is quite
beneficial for company as well as their workers. For example, when administration builds a
diverse team of people they can look to hire individual of varied ages, genders, races and other

characteristics. By maintaining both components in workplace organization is able to build team
of individual who are able to contribute and participate in each and every activity. Equality &
diversity creates enthusiasm for the work inside the working people in company, the result of
which will be very good as it help to increase sales, profitability and raise performance level. To
enhance motivational and performance of workers equality and diversity are really very
important to maintain at workplace.
Trittin and Schoeneborn, (2017) contradict that by maintaining equality and diversity
management allow workers to gain competitive advantages, so it can be said that it is important
to implement as well as beneficial in every term. It reduce employee turnover which in return
save costs for hiring new applicants at workplace. It analyzed that when workers see that firm
accommodates a diverse workforce then they are more likely to want to work for business.

Conclusion
All the information related to the chose topic has been discussed above that help to draw

role when management implement strategies related to it in effective manner. It analyzed that in
order to overcome problems of equality and diversity ZARA management use many approaches
or methods that are quite beneficial for company as well as their stakeholders in which workers
are also included. Many workers are familiar with current concept at workplace that is equality
and diversity which makes them able to understand its importance and allow working
accordingly. From above discussion it has been identify that majority of respondents are in favor
of gender pay gape they consider it as one of the biggest factors that affect work place
environment in negative manner. But by taking appropriate action and implementing strategies
management overcome this factor and create positive working atmosphere that is beneficial for
existing as well as new applicants in term of increasing performance, motivation and
productivity level rather than few months or year.
Furthermore, after conducting in depth research researcher has been determine that
ZARA faced biggest challenge in their company due to non presence of diversity and equality at
work areas where number of candidates are performing and working to achieve set aims &
objectives of business in effective manner. Due to lack of equality and diversity administration is
not able to manage their workers and their work which directly affect sales and brand image
within market place. But by developing specific strategy or plan manager and leader maintain
both elements in systematic manner which makes firm able to overcome problems and enhance
productivity level more than its competitors operating in same sector since for so long.
It has been analyzed that non presence of equality and diversity at work area impact
workers performance in ZARA which is not suitable for their business long term success, they
may be loss market position due to this situation. But by considering overall situation
management within organization enhances performance level of this staff by encouraging them
to take participation in decision making procedure that is quite effective in context of above
problem and work effectively. Along with this efforts firm utilized variety of ways and take one

step ahead to reduce all negative impact occur due to non presence of equality & diversity at
working area where day to day activities has been conducted by employees.
Moreover, it has been determine that to reduce inequality and diversity absence
organization do many things such as they improve environment at workplace which is suitable
and appropriate action taken by firm. Training and development is one of the best ways firm has
been used to reduce impact of same thing but in different way that is also good for its business
and skilled workers. By getting appropriate training individual get fair chance to enhance their
professional as well as personal career.
Recommendations
After going through above research it has been suggested to ZARA that company has to
take right action at right time within business to reduce negative impact of gender pay gap and
other factors in workplace.
 Firm can do same by bringing better sort of transparency in regards of decision making as
well as salary. It is one of the best suggestion management must do to overcome all
issues and it also makes them more able to create inclusive work culture.
 Another suggestion to organization is that they has to make assure that both manager and
leader build effective sort of working atmosphere in company or not which does not
utilize to spread cultural and other types of differences in firm. It will definitely help
ZARA to reduce impact of non presence of equality and diversity at workplace as gender
pay gap is the main reason behind overall situation in company.
 Firm also has to make assure that administration must create strategies to reduce negative
impact and put positive affect that effectively increase performance of workers rather
than before. Along with training they should use another options like effective
communication, motivation and other things that are quite beneficial for everyone who
are working for company and who are working with teams.
 Management must assure that workers are working together or not because it makes them
able to identify gaps between them when it have. By building good connections with all
the workers in company leaders and seniors motivate their staff and help in reducing
negative influence of inequality. Also they has to make assure that top authority motivate

and inspire staff to share their opinions or innovative ideas it will effectively aid firm in
maintaining better amount of individual confidence.
 It has been identify that ZARA is unable to manage applicants in company because of
non presence of Diversity and equality at work area that directly affect consumer services
and brand image within Fashionsector in negative manner that is not good for them. It is
one of the biggest challenge according to situation company can face. To overcome this
issue organization must provide fair change to their workers to take suggestions from
senior and allow them to provide better response.
 There are many ways company must use to promote equality and diversity at workplace
which is quite beneficial and useful for increasing employee participation in team work
or individual tasks. Management should value staff contribution they do not
underestimate affect people can have on firm. Promoting equality and reducing inequality
has to be a priority throughout overall business performance can improve including top
authority.
 Senior must coordinate with their existing and new team mates and efforts to identify
their need which makes them capable to provide facilities accordingly it also reduce
negative impact of non presence of equality.
LO 4
Reflection
The current project supposed to accomplish uncertain diverse measure which can help
ZARA in overcoming the issues of equality and diversity at the workplace. This project aids to
identify measures and its impact on work area regarding current issues faced by company.
Yes, it can be said that this project succeed in their aims. I know this thing because it has
been identify while conducting research by using varied methods that organization is using
training approach to reduce negative impact of inequality at workplace.
I think all things are good. Researcher has presented good findings by taking the correct
methods. All the Aspects projects were correct to a large extent. Inductive and data analysis with

many methods yielded very good results, which helps to know how the company helps reduce all
the wrong effects.
Lack of coordination has been emerged during project which was solved by adopting
correct method, for example group together may suggest opinion. Yes, issue was timely
identified and resolve in effective as well as systematic manner. It has been solved during project
procedure.
I learn from undertaking project is to that how management talk to people and know their
problems to find out solutions to solve them in effective manner. I learned how to work in team
and manage activities according to plan that is relay very important.
I would rate myself as well as my performance as project manager 10 out of 8 because I
know how to finish the work at the right time with desired outcomes that are beneficial for
overall research and also help to draw final conclusion.
I identify one strength and one weakness of my performance that not impact on my work
too much. My strength is that I can communicate with people in ethical manner to gather data
related to chosen topic. My weakness is lack of confidence.
Above strengths and weakness will inform and aid in my continuous improvement
development because I use my abilities to overcome weak points and strengthen positive things
in effective manner. By considering weakness I can improve my skills better rather before and
developed the new required in further situation.
The project has been completed with appropriate findings and results as it helps to define
how ZARA take steps towards managing equality and diversity at workplace that is good for
workers as well as its business.
I would like to rate my performance and myself 9 out of 10 because I am able to work
appropriately and conduct good practices.
