TOPIC
What issues and challenges may arise out of equality and diversity in the workplace and
what measures could be taken to resolve them?
INTRODUCTION
Equality is really about recognizing that everyone has equal chance, mostly because of their
attributes is not unfairly treated or discriminatory toward. Diversity is mostly about considering
the variations among individuals and populations into perspective and putting a constructive
emphasis on those variations. Equality and diversity can be described as "supporting equal
opportunities for all, by inclusion, allowing each visitor the right to attain their ability, away
from racism and prejudice." Positive outcomes of equality and diversity ensure that the services
made accessible to customers are reasonable and available to all (Alotaibi and Liu, 2017). They
guarantee that children are viewed as citizens, that people can receive the recognition it deserves,
and that they acknowledge their distinctions. This report based on the H&M which is a Swedish
multinational clothing organisation it is a fast fashion company that design clothes for men,
women, teenagers and children. The study will address various aspects of the priorities, goals
and process improvement strategy. The task will also describe research methodology, data
collecting channels and analysis techniques. Eventually, have suitable suggestions and reflection
to ensure good interactions and activities of the researcher.
TASK A
P1. Project aims and objectives
Overview of an organisation
Hennes & Mauritz AB is a Swedish multinational apparel-retail company renowned for
men , women, adolescents and baby's fast-fashion clothes. As of November 2019, H&M exists

gender pay gap?
P2. Development of a project management plan that cover different aspects
The management plan describes a series of tasks which are advantageous for the
company's best working. This consists of important outcomes structures that are necessary and
efficient for the inspector to conduct various project works in a suitable manner. The program
consists of different stages that enable the effective management of different project activities in
conjunction with the implementation of work. Project management plan is developed with the
intention of tell the difference aspects of the construction project which are essential for the
efficient implementation of the research study. The definition of the various elements of the
project management plan shall be described as:
Cost: This refers to the financial stake that the researcher needs and spends in order to
conduct all research tasks in an acceptable manner. Cost relation to the investing in the future for
all research study tasks. It is necessary to have an adequate fund to accurately execute all the
future research. It is estimated that £300 would be needed for this project to actually manage the

all work. This would take £ 500 economic value to complete the entire assigned task in a
satisfying manner for the whole research proposal (Asgari, Song and Odeh, 2017).
Scope: Determining the reach of the study design is essential for the researcher, as it will
assist in figuring out the effect on employee equity and diversity. Using it, the inspector would
be easy to detect multiple ways in which an organization will perform functions. Depth of this
study would help to assess the effect of corporations and market practices on gander pay
disparity.
Time: This shows the amount of time the researcher would need to carry out all of the
project tasks. It is crucial for the organization to decide the time interval estimate needed by the
contractor to existing control measures all the study project work. The researcher will take
approximately 4 moths time period to conduct this assignment. Active time must be set by the
person as per various report processes and projects.
Quality: Maintaining the characteristic is necessary for investigator to preserve the
standards of the operations. Individuals obtain intelligence through the use of various sources in
this study. This will guide for ongoing effect on qualitative research. It is therefore important that
the individual gathers knowledge through the use of adequate support and use it accordingly. It
will facilitate the creation of good quality information accessible queries. Performance is
essential for the creation of strong research performance in the context of achieving set goals
(Car-Pušić, Marović and Bulatović, 2019).
Communication: This strategy is recommended as an important element which will
facilitate the collection of data. In this inquiry, to gather more information, it is important that
investigator interact with various users. Good communication can help to better gather and
interpret data in regard to achieve multiple activities in changed shape.
Risk: There are different kinds of risks that may occur in an effective way when carrying
out the original research. Finding and tracking all collection of risks is significant to designing
significant numbers process to minimize and eliminate risk. The key problems and danger
connected with the research report are waste of availability, company’s revenue
