“To analyse the initiatives and strategies which require to be plan and implemented by a
business organisation in order to bringing equality and diversity at workplace.” A case study on
Bentley Motors.
INTRODUCTION
Managing a successful business organisation consider as a critical task that need various
skills and abilities in order to conduct the independent investigations for achieving the goals and
objectives (Scott, 2017). Whereas, equality as well as diversity become inherent for all
corporations because of demographic as well as globalisation characteristics of an environment.
Every workers have different culture and background as there needs and wants are also different
that might leads in conflicts as well as stressful workplace. For this, initiatives and strategies are
required to formulate by management in order to overcome from barriers and issues as well as
develop equality working environment. In this research report a case of Bentley Motors is taken
which is a British manufacturer as well as marketers of luxury cars. It was founded in 1998 that
headquarters in England, United Kingdom. Under this report discussed about the project aims
and objectives for preparing a project management plan that includes several aspects like cost,
quality, risk and so on. Work breakdown structure as well as Gantt chart also study in order to
conduct a small scale research. Also, facilitates appropriate recommendation as well as reflection
on this project.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Meaning of equality and diversity at workplace.
According to the Ruth Mayhew (2017), equality and diversity are very different concepts
as equality refers to the concept of treating all workers with the equally consideration and
diversity means the availability of differences in the employees on the basis of generation, race,
culture as well as ethics. Whereas, as per the views of Louise Petty (2016), the main aim of
equality and diversity is to make sure that all employees access same level of opportunities and
fairly treated within an organisation. As it is essential to know about the concepts of that so a
company can operates businesses in their own policies that results in making completable
workers and maintain healthy as well as positive workplace. Also, it will assist in increasing the
efficiency level along with the productive results which will create better benchmark for their
competitors.
Possible merits and demerits of accretive workplace equality and diversity.
According to the views of Fraser Sherman (2019), in the company's workplace it needs to
recognise the talent and performance of all people regardless of their attributes like age,
nationality, gender etc. As one of the most important advantages of workplace equality is the
culture where all individual's feel valued and contribute more efforts for the performance. This
also helps in welcoming and managing diverse workers but treats them in equal manner which
makes more attraction towards the talented job candidates. But the demerits of workplace
equality is that the communication may be more tough among diverse people even all speaking
English as well as many individual suffers from the classifying about their different genders,
nationality, races etc.
According to the Lynne MacDonald (2019), Workplace are increasingly diverse in an
organisation. A diverse sets of workers should reflect society's in which a business operates on
the basis of race, mental ability, gender etc. It is benefited for a company as it can help in
increasing the creativity by encouraging the diverse perspectives and opinions as well as have
wide range of talented pool who have different sets of ideas and thoughts. Whereas, it has many
demerits such as the communication may be negatively impacted if the workers first language is
not English. Also, it requires more time to investigate about the workers complaints towards the
adverse attitudes and harassment.

Challenges and consequences that are faced by a company due to the diverse workforce.
As per the views of Rose Johnson (2019), diversity at workplace comes from the hiring
of different sets of people who belongs to the different sex, age, caste, religion and so on factors.
Diverseness in an organisational working premises termed as an investment but at a same time it
mat creates huge conflicts within the workforce because of the difference in their skills, ideas as
well as thoughts that also impacts on the competitiveness of company's as well as workers.
Several kinds of issues are faced by the company due to the communicational barriers because of
language difference, varied range of thoughts for brining changes in organisation, management
of mixed sets of individual's and so on. Whereas, in the context of Bentley motors they faced
issues regarding the lack of acceptation by all employees on a single decision, barriers of
different languages and communication as well as moral principle and social differences.
Develop a project management plan.
Project management plan: It refers to the process of analysing the aims and objectives
of a business organisation to set up realistic and careful plan for conducting the research in
accordance of the fulfilment of them in an appropriate manner (Bryson, 2018). This plan is to be
used in order to develop action plan after predicting the issues as well as risks and satisfactory
organised and manage the entire activities of this project. This leads in the minimisation of costs,
efforts as well as risk in order to control and monitor in well defines manner after analysing all
aspects of this. In this, various aspects that are cost, quality, scope, risk, time, communication as
well as research that are required to plan in efficient manner to bring equality and diversity at
Bentley Motors working environment.
Aspects Benefits
Cost It can be easily said that cost plays the most important role in any of the work
it decides that whether work can be conducted successfully or not. It will
include the overall cost of any of project for the purpose of fulfilling the
objectives in best possible manner. In context of Bentley Motors, they have
allocated £800000 for the purpose of introducing new technologies with their
car where they will spend money in giving training to employees, research
and development department will also require huge sum of capital and
expenses will occur at the time of bring new assets in the company. This will

be the amount which can help to utilise every resources in systematic manner.
In terms of researcher, the estimation cost of conducting the whole research
will require approximately £17000.
Quality It is necessary during the course of conducting research that collected
information must be reliable so that company as well as researcher can take
the benefit. In context of research, they will required to collect the
information from the method of qualitative as well as quantitative way. In
case of Bentley Motors, they can only take the advantage out of those data
which are reliable for executing the necessary activities within the given time
period (Skjerven, 2019).
Resources In any of the project it is necessary that resources should be available so that
work can be done easily. In context of the research they will required to have
some of the sources such as capital, time, support of respondents etc. While
talking about Bentley Motors, they will require advance technologies, fund,
skilled R&D department etc.
Scope It creates number of opportunities for both researcher as well as organisation
as it will help both of them to survive for longer period of time and even
earning will automatically increase. Research will have the knowledge about
latest technologies and how it has been helping the world to attain their goals.
In case of Bentley Motors, company will be able to compete with their
rivalries firm for longer period of time (Stone, 2019).
Communication Communication always plays the crucial role in attaining the positive goals in
given time period. It is their choice that how they uses it for attaining their
personal milestones. In case of research, they can use different
communication system such as email, telephonic discussion, face to face
interview for doing effective communication for this respective research. In
case of Bentley Motors, they will have the option to use oral as well as written
communication which will help them to take effective decision for attaining

the goals of a company.
Time Researcher will have the option to complete whole of the research within the
time period of 7 weeks where as Bentley motors will require at least 6 months
to implement the changes which they are willing to do for attaining the goals
of a company (Todorova, 2019).
Risk Whenever of the work is to be done then there are number of risk which is
needed to be faced by researcher as well as company. In case of researcher,
some of the risk that will occur during the research are related with lack of
available time, inappropriate reply from respondent and capital in some of the
cases. In case of Bentley motors, they will have the risk that whether company
will be able to attract the customers or not.
RISK REGISTER
It is defined as a important tool that assist the manager in order to manage risks and entire
project activities which impacts on the performance of tasks. Several tools and techniques are
used for determining the reasons of risk as well as provide adequate solutions to reduce their
impacts. The risk faced by Bentley motors and its impacts can be discussed by using risk register
that are as follows:

Work break down structure and Gantt chart.
Various tools and techniques are implemented by researchers to clearly understand about
the task completion within the time-frame (Vuorinen, 2019). In this research, investigator used
Work breakdown structure and Gantt chart for completing and performing the research activity
on time. These are as follows:
Work Break down structure consider as a management tool which are generally
developed by a manager and investigators for the purpose of decomposition of whole tasks into
smaller parts that are monitored and controlled effectively. This provides a clear guidelines as
well as framework in order to complete the activities on time by properly assigned roles and
responsibilities to the team members (Burns, 2016). WBS is useful for conducting research
activities for minimising the duplication of efforts and work as well as systematically divide
overall tasks by assigning separate roles and responsibilities. This will assist in accomplishing
the research objectives within a particular period of time after reducing conflicts and confusions
towards the work allocation and performance.

Gantt chart refers to the management tool for managing the time for performing the
activities as it shows a graphical representation of every stages of work to give the simplicity as
well as transparency (Byrd, 2018). It is based on the bar chart which facilitates clear and detail
information in either horizontal or vertical axis on different time intervals that shows schedule of
all events. It is helpful for researcher as it display start and finish time of all events to complete
in an appropriate manner as well as focused on reducing the wastages also.

LO 2
Conduct a small scale research by using qualitative as well as quantitative research.
Research is conducted for the purpose of identifying, choosing as well as examining
the information related to a specific problem or topic in order to make effective as well as
reliable decisions for achieving the organisational objectives. There are several methods and
sources that are made to conduct proper research activities. Some important methods are
used in this Bentley motors research report that are as follows:
Qualitative method of research: This is to be applied for gathering the depth
information regarding a specific topic. In order to that a researcher use open ended as well
as conversational interactions by using focus groups, depth interview as well as case study

techniques for collecting data. This kind of data is in theoretical form as it is difficult to
present on charts and time consuming as well and it requires detailed skills, abilities and
knowledge to use (Dai, 2014).
Quantitative method of research: In this kind of method, information is gathered in
numerical form that can be simply converted into graphs as well as tables as it facilitates
appropriate data presentation. Several statistical tools, facts, figures are made to examine the
quantitative data for making effective decisions.
In order to effective research and facilitates appropriate conclusion towards the
respondents opinions using both methods of research like qualitative as well as quantitative.
Qualitative research ensures depth and detailed information for making decisions as well as
quantitative research is applied for presenting that data easily in attractive manner (Fageha,
2013).
Sources of data
It shows the origin of information from where it is actually collected. There are
mainly two sources that are as follows:
Primary source: It shows the first hand information that is basically gathered by
investigators by contributing personal efforts and time. It facilitates up to date as well as
authentic information which is related to the current scenario. It includes many techniques
such as questioners, interview as well as survey for collecting information but it is a time
consuming method.
Secondary Source: This kind of informations are already in existence as well as
already collected by someone else. It considered as a easy and simple source as well as not a
time consuming approach but it can be outdated and not reliable for important projects.
There are various sources of secondary data collection such as books, journals, records,
magazines, websites as well as newspaper (Hajro, 2017).
Both kind of sources are used by Bentley for this research as questioners form is used
to collect primary or first hand information and online websites are preferred for collect
secondary source of research.
Sampling
It refers to the procedure of selecting a pre described unit of observation among total
population that are based on some common characteristics. It provides the speedy as well as

better research by using several sampling techniques such as probability, random, non
probability, systematic, conservative and so on (Johanson, 2015).
In this research report random sampling is used to minimise the chances of biasness
as well as favouritism in sample selection process. For this 20 respondents are chosen from
Bentley Motors to study about the concept of equality and diversity at workplace.

LO 4
Reflection.
Firstly I am very thankful to all who gave me this opportunity for gaining a detailed
information towards a topic of “To analyse the initiatives and strategies which require to be plan
and implemented by a business organisation in order to bringing equality and diversity at
workplace.” within the context of Bentley Motors. From this research I had learnt many new
concepts and things that enhanced my entire knowledge. I learnt about the views of workplace
equality and diversity along with its merits and demerits. As this has also improved my several
skills like communication, analytical thinking, research as well as interpersonal skill as I have
interacted with lot of people during this study and got an opportunity to know about the views
and perceptions of different people who are associated with Bentley Motors. I had made
appropriate use of Work breakdown structure as well as Gantt chart for de compositing the entire
tasks in effective manner which improves the working efficiency of me and my team members.
Also, develop a plan of whole project in order to manage them by performing within the
estimated time, cost, scope as well as several aspects. I had also properly used some qualitative
and quantitative measures for undertaken research appropriately (Polonsky, 2018).
Several issues and challenges are also faced by me while undertaking research activities
as that are mainly related to the lack of resources and time. But this problem are resolved by
making use of WBS as well as Gantt chart that helps in proper allocation of tasks into smaller
activities among team members as well as assist in performing tasks on timely basis. Also, me
and my team members contribute extra hours and overtime for performing tasks within the time-
frame and available resources. It has opened several new opportunities for us as it enhanced our
confidence and overall personality (Roll, 2015).
CONCLUSION
It has been concluded from the above report that the management of an organisation need
many skills as well as abilities to conduct research in an appropriate manner and manage as well
as coordinate the employees efforts. As increasing in the equality and diversity at working

environment leads in making management role very crucial. In order to that, a company prepare
project management plan in order to examine the cost, time, risk, scope and so on factors that are
necessarily used in this research project. In addition, qualitative as well as quantitative methods
of research also used for collecting the information in appropriate way. Whereas, equality and
diversity at working environment plays a crucial role to develop competitive strengths as well as
skills that results in greater productivity and profitability. To build a diverse and comprehensive
workforce a company use several strategies like orientation programmes, cultural activities etc.
