project that can be defined. It is used for facilitating the researcher to provide guidance and
monitor all activities that are part of project. Various components that are part of project
management plan consist of resources, scope, communication, cost, quality & such related
concepts. This plan is helpful in development of different value propositions that have to be
identified according to the way project is being undertaken by the researcher. The project
management plan in particular research is mentioned below:
 Cost: For the purpose of conducting of research there is a need to have some necessary
financial resources that can help in completion of the whole project (Romani, and ,
2017). Since the starting of activities of collecting data and analysing it to draw further
conclusions there is requirement of cost for survey, travelling and management cost as
mentioned below:
Description Cost

weeks according to which there will be allocation of time to different activities like
collection if data, analysis, interpretation and then drawing recommendations.

journals, books etc. that are essentially required to procure the resources and arrangement
of finances is also a part of resources allocation's (Natha, 2020).
 Risk: There is always presence of risks that can be faced by research in the course of
completion of research. There are certain tools that have been adopted for the purpose of
analysing the risk and then making efforts to mitigate it in advance. Such as there is use
of Gantt chart & WBS to deal with technical risk that is related to collection of data and
then analysing it by use of various methods.
Literature Review
Importance of equality & diversity in a organisation
As per the views of Rob Gray, it is necessary for a organisation to have consideration for
different issues that are part of the concept of equality & diversity in case of organisations.
Equality act helps in specification of different issues that can help in ensuring proper
compliance. Diversity management is also a aspect that is related with managing employees who
belong to different backgrounds and then further formation of policies so that equal importance
can be given to each employees according to their level of skills and competent.

Role of equality & diversity practises on daily activities of employees
According to views of Louis Petty, the main objective of these practises related to
equality & diversity is to provide equal access of opportunities by giving fair treatment to each
employees. In the present context it can be said that when in case of decision making situation
every employee is given equal opportunity to present their views then it leads to a positive
impact on theirs satisfaction level and they are willing to make higher contribution. It also leads
to enhancement of the innovative and creative skills of employees as they will be able to make
higher contribution.
Determination of strategies & polices adopted by organizations to ensure equality and manage
diverse workforce
As per views of James A. Roffee, 2017 there are different policies and strategies that have
to be incorporated by organisation so that they can deal with issues of gender pay gap and it can
lead to a direct impact on the level of performance. Such policies are adopted in terms if paternal
leaves, timely increment based on performance contribution, flexible working practises &
timings, proper work life balance are some commonly used practices that can help a
organisation to ensure with instance to Tesco, if there is any sort of intentional or unintentional
differentiation among employees who belong to similar position that is made in context of their
workforce. All these efforts are helpful for employees to deal with the diverse background to
which they all belong.
