Literature Review
According to Keay, and Iqbal, (2018), equality and diversity practices becomes important
part of many rising retail company in the world for that they have to implement in the firm in
right manner by framing policies and creating a procedure for it. From the last decade treating
employees as a potential resources increase and for that company made many changes in
traditional practices; for example, now performance of each employee's will be calculated and
according to that they grow in corporate and hence equality concept comes in the mind of bosses
and management. If the employees feel equal and part of organization then it increases
efficiency, quality and productivity of work. As per the view of Khan, and et.al, (2019), adoption
of such practices also become necessary after government has passed various law related laws
for industries such as Equality Act, Human Rights Act, Sex Discrimination Act, Disability
Discrimination Act and Race Relations Act. Company has to implement in working culture of
the firm and no worker in the firm can isolated and discriminated in any way.
In the opinion of Keay, and Iqbal, (2018),, There are multiple challenges that firm are
facing in adoption of equality and diversity practices for example company can implement this
but in real ground human difference are high and hence it becomes barrier. It also stated that firm
loses financial capacity because of it for instance communication problem of diverse workforce
decrease productivity, quality and productivity of work. On the contrary Kirton, and Greene
(2017), explain that these policies and procedures can be implemented successful if firm gives
provide proper training and management program for it. Also, and management and HRM joint
role can be one of the way by which it can be adopted. Orientation program, activities, team task

etc. related to it can also help in proper adoption of equality and diversity policies and
procedures at workplace
P2. Project management plan
Development of project management plan was very important task in this project work,
because after developing a very effective project management plan, all activities of research was
conducted in proper channel. The project management plan has basically provided a specific
framework of whole research project work (Harding, 2018). In this situation, after considering
project management plan, anyone can simply identify that which activities needs to be conducted
and which activities needs to be avoided while completing the research. The plan always projects
different elements of work which has been discussed below;
Scope
Scope of the current research work is very large, because topic “equality and diversity” is
very broad. There was required to visit different place for finding appropriate data for the project
work. Many times, there was required to visit in an organisation also for taking interview of
different employees and workers, so that the scope of existing research is very broad and large.
Time
Total time period of seven weeks was required for completing present research work.
Basically, the main time requires in a research project in two activities called, data collection and
data analysis. These both tasks generally consume lots time in project workplace, so that these
was required huge time existing project as well, and that’s why the whole research was
completed in seven weeks. On the other side, time period of one year will be required in the
implementation of research findings and outcomes in the organisation.
Quality
Maintaining an excellent quality in the collected data was also a very important task in
the research work, so that there was a data analysis technique used for maintaining logicalness in
collected data. After implementing the data analysis technique, only such data has been included
in the present research work which are really productive as well as effective.
Cost
Total amount of £4100 was required to conduct different activities of project, and at the
end after using this amount, the final objective of research has successfully achieved (Wilcox,
2016). The sheet of expenses has been attached below;

Area of expenses Amount (£)
Assistance salary 1500
Internet cost 350
Travelling cost 400
Conveyance cost 250
Consultancy fees 500
Books & Journals cost 1100
Total 4100
The cost of £65700 will be required for implementing the findings and outcomes of
research work in the organisation.
Communication
Communication was played a very positive role while completing the research project.
Basically, when anyone visit one place to another for collecting data, on that time it has required
to interact with many people. That’s why well-developed communication skills have contributed
in achieving final objective of research.
Risk
Different risk factors were also affected to existing research work while collecting data
through various selected places (Sarvaiya and Eweje, 2016). For example; the first risk was
relating to decided time period exceed, second risk was relating to data stolen etc. These was
major risk factors in this work.
Resources
There were many resources given their great contribution in collecting existing research
work. For example; articles, newspapers, business magazines, vehicles, books and journals and
human resource (assistant), etc. These all resources are really productive in order to complete a
research project on time.
