Literature review
Concept of equality & diversity at workplace
According to Dr. Kelly S. Meier (2019) equality as well as diversity at the workplace
plays very essential role as it provide fair and equal opportunities to the staff members without
any kind of discriminations. However, it has been analysed that diversity define as the concept
which encompasses religion, age, colour, gender, race and any other traits. On the other hand,

with the assistance of equality staff members will get equal number of opportunities and fair
treatment at the workplace. This will assist in enhancing the overall performance of the company
and gain competitive advantages at the marketplace. Apart from this, it has also been identified
that with the assistance of diversity within workplace human rights as well as opportunities will
be advanced which as a result leads to their overall development in both personal and
professional level. However, execution of equality & diversity practices within workplace,
managers will be able to enhance their overall performance at the marketplace (Cottrill and et.
al., 2014). Along with this, they will effectively cope up with issues arise within the company
which is related with labour turnover, disputes, confusion and so on. With the help of
implementing such aspects effectively, managers will be able to provide positive working
environment within the company which leads to produce high quality products and services.
Different strategies which will assist in implementing equality & diversity at workplace
In the views of Diane Lynn, (2019), it is said that there are various strategies which need
to be adopted by the management team of each and every organisation in order to promote
equality and diversity at the workplace. It is very essential for the person who have influencing
power that every employee should be treated fairly and equally within the company so that goals
will be accomplished effectively and within stipulated time frame. Some of the most effective
strategies includes treating every individual equally, provide training sessions to staff members
so that they can adopt such practices in an effective manner. All these strategies assist the
management team in order to perform their task in an effective manner. For this, it is very
necessary to have positive working environment so that they can accomplish their pre define
goals and objectives within stipulated time frame (Ewoh, 2013).
Benefits of equality & diversity for WFC Contractors
As per the thought of Louise Petty, (2019), equality & diversity within the workplace
plays very essential role as it assist the company in order to grow effectively at the competitive
market. It has been analysed that there are ample number of benefits which is gain by
management team of an organisation. It has been analysed that equality & diversity within the
workplace helps in employing more and more candidates in the company. These staff members
assist in accomplishing organisational goals of the business entity within stipulated time frame.
Major purpose implementing equality & diversity within the organisation helps in providing
similar number of opportunities as well as equal & fair treatment to every single person working

at the workplace. In the present context of WFC Contractors , managers ensure that each and
every staff member should be treated equally & provide them fair treatment (Galpin, 2014).
Main benefits which is gain by the company is that they can retain their best and potential
employees for a long period of time. Along with this, they can attract large number of candidates
towards their organisation. Furthermore, another benefit which is gain by the organisation is that
they will be able to create positive working environment to their employees which leads to
enhance the profitability and performance of the company.
Current WFC Contractor's staff diversity-related strategies in Romania
As mentioned by Hewins-Maroney and Williams, (2013), it is mandatory for every single
business organisation to develop diversity related strategies while expanding business at
international level. In the same way, if it is talked about WFC Contractors then this organisation
is also having diversity related strategies that they developed for United Kingdom only and, they
have applied the same in Romania as well. This impacted negatively upon overall performance
level of employees as, perceptions carried by Romanian staff is different from employees that are
working in United Kingdom.
Future WFC Contractor's staff diversity-related strategies in Romania in 2020
According to Hebl and Avery, (2012), Romania is a place where religious and cultural
diversity is basically being faced by organisations, due to dynamic nature and perception of
people, which gets changes quickly. In present context, use of legislation by the WFC
Contractors has considered the state to tackle societal inequities and complexities. In the same
way, WFC Contractors will also be developing the diversity-related strategies while expanding
business in Romania or while working in this country in the year of 2020. Basically, HR
Department of WFC will focus on all the cultural, technological advancements and amendments
among legislations while developing the diversity-related strategies in Romania in 2020.
