“An investigation about the influence of diversity and equality to reduce gender pay gap.”
A study about Airdri Limited.
INTRODUCTION
As the business grow and expand in global market there are various changes will be
adopted by organisation for performing their operations and functions at multi-national level. In
order to expand the market area it is essential to recruit more number of employees either they
belong to local area or relates with different background, caste, religion etc. This results the
diversity among organisational operations is increased with rapid speed. To manage and perform
all functions within appropriate manner an organisation manage equality in internal division of
organisation for providing equal opportunities to all persons (Ahamed, Wen and Gupta, 2019).
This report is composed from point view of Airdri that is operating their business in hand dry
industry. Moreover, organisation is highly engage to produce good quality of clothes at
affordable prices for attracting more number of customers. In the present scenario, organisation
is facing various issue that impact on effectiveness of workers. This report also highlights on
those methods that reduces gender gap and their effects on employee’s by utilising research tools
and technique that assist to conduct research in proper manner.
TASK 1
P1 Project aims and objectives
By increasing in modernisation, globalisation etc. among the world there is directly
increase in participation of women workforce in operations and functions of a company. So it is
important to monitor that whole workforce will be get equal opportunity in internal organisation
to ensure better results for organisation. Some roles such as to check the quality of work and
functions are performed by equally through men and women so there must be no income gap
among their salary or wages due to gender gap (Appleby, 2019). Similarly by adopting women
empowerment practices and no discrimination due to gender gap also leads Airdri to enhance
their goodwill in market.
Aims:
“To determine the impact of equality-and-diversity to reduce gender wage or salary gap.”
The study on Airdri.

Research Objectives:
 To analyse the impact and influence of equality act to reduce gender pay gap.
 To monitor and formulate strategies for building equality-and-diversity in a company.
 To examine and study many methods for overcoming from equality and diversity gap.
 To ascertain about the benefits to build and implement equality and diversity at
workplace.
Research questions:
 What are the major understanding after study of equality and diversity in respective
organisation?
 Which are most effective strategy that is adopted by Airdri for building sameness and
managing diversity in business?
 Define the benefits to build and implement variety and equality at workplace?
Literature Review:
From the perspective of Lynne Callister, 2019. The equality and diversity is one of the
major perspective and concerned aspect for company houses which are operating their business
in UK. According to the equality act, 2010 staff or employees who are engage in organisational
operations are totally authorised to ensure themselves from any kind of unethical aspect such as
bullying, discrimination and harassment. Moreover, with implement of effective policies it is
also easy for organisation to frame better policies for organisation that leads management to
operate their business in smooth manner (Bendl and et. al., 2015). Along with this by offering
equal wages and remuneration it is also easy for management to generate better goodwill about
organisation by providing similar post and salary to male or female employee. On the other side,
diversity is also performing an essential role in organisational premises due to which competitive
edge in market is gained by organisation by developing positive environment in internal division
of organisation.
As per the view of Tom Wells, 2018, to build an positive environment in internal
departments an organisation perform different roles and responsibilities such as to implement a
positive culture in operations of organisation (Blau, 2016). Like to use a common language for
all functions so all ideas and methods to perform the work are completed in proper manner.
Diverse team members who are different from religion and values implement develop new

innovative ideas to perform the work in minimum time period. Simple language, transparent and
flat communication channel are some methods that is understand by all individuals to complete
the work as per culture events in order to complete project on regular feedbacks.
According to the Louise. 2016. The main aim to build and implement equality and
diversity act in a company is to develop positive environment in organisation. This governs that
optimistic surroundings encourage employees to perform their work with in exact manner by
motivating individuals through making unbiased and fair decisions (Fortin, 2019).
P2 Project management plan
It is a document that is used to describe the different phases of the project that are
controlling, monitoring, initiating, organising, execution and closing. It is important for Airdri as
planning is necessary to accomplish the goals at a particular period of time and project planning
also helps to guide the project manager, project team at every phase of project. The researcher
has been needed several factor for project management plan for equity and diversity these are as
follows as:
 Cost: It is the total amount of money that is indulged in the completion of certain task.
Researcher has been research about the equity and diversity and results in a
quantitative research that includes around 200 pound that is defined as follows:
Description Cost
Survey 50£
Equipment for the project 40£
Travel cost 35£
Management cost 75£
Total 200£
 Scope: The scope of researcher's research is that it leads to know about the factors that
is raised by the equity and diversity includes the purpose of research, sample, time
duration, theory, geographical areas. It is a level under which the research is explored
and specifies the different factor. Includes the area that is covered to perform and focus
on the object of research. Whereas, Airdri scope is to analyse the research report to

manage it in a better way in the organisation which reduces the negative impacts of
equity and diversity.
 Resource: These are the different sources that is required for the completion of any
task or project. The resources that is needed for researcher for the completion of
research are books, journals, newspaper, magazines, internet, articles etc. Whereas,
resources of Airdri are human, financial, managerial, technological etc. that helps the
company for easy apply the outcomes of research (Hutchinson, Mack and Verhoeven,
2017).
 Time: It is a complete duration that is required for a completion of task. The total time
taken by the Researcher's to perform its research is about approx. three months that
includes conducting survey, interviews, direct conversation, behavioural study,
travelling time as data is collected through several sample and comes with collective
result. Whereas, in context of Airdri the time taken to resolve the different issues that
is created by the equity and diversity is approximately three month in which all the
information is circulated in the organisation that reduces the effect of equity and
diversity.
 Risk: It is the probability of getting failure in some task or work or shows the
possibility of loss. Researcher's have that risk that his report is not harm someone's
emotions, belief or include physical harm, psychological harms, social harm. It also
deals with the threat and abuse, risk of being comparing with other researcher. While
Airdri risk is that company get profit in terms of generating faith and belief of
employee's after applying all the tools and techniques to follow the criteria of research
that reduces the effect and covers the negative impact that is created by equity and
diversity.
 Quality: It is the standard of measure something in comparison to other and defines
the degree of achievement. Quality of researcher's research is defines that the research
design and method is used appropriately, sample size is valid that defines the exact
situation of the organisation, reports have clear statement that is easy to understand and
provides the wide range of expressed views (Kennedy and et. al., 2017). Whereas,
quality in context of Airdri includes the experimental research in which company
experiments on different factors that affects the equity and diversity and then resolve
