Project Title
“To study the issues or concerns faced by an organisation
while not maintaining the equality and diversity at the
workplace”.
Project Management Plan is considered as important for students as it divide works and
activities in effective and efficient way with the motive of accomplishing desired goals.
Company Name Rowlinson Knitwear
Cost
Cost is refers to funds that are required by a researcher for
conducting their research work in effective manner
(Akkermans and et.al., 2019). In respect of respective research,
project manager required near by £ 50 so that they conduct all
research related activities properly such as gathering
information, conducting research etc.
4

Scope
Scope of research refers to identifying effectiveness of
research helps in determined about issues and challenges that
arise while conducting research related activities. In respect of
this research, scope is that project manager will able to
develop appropriate strategies for related to research topic i.e.
related to reduces the difference in pay due to gender equality
from organisation. The scope for the organisation is to get rid
of inequality in gap of gender pay successfully.
Time
This factors refers to time period which required by a person
or project manager in order to accomplish a particular research
effectively (Armenia and et.al., 2019). Along with this, project
manager of this research required approx six months for
gathering proper information and conducting research properly
as well as in timely manner.
Quality
This is consider as quality of work or activities which are
conducted by a project manager in respect of their research
and its outcome. In context of respective research, project
manager will develop proper standard of their work so that
they will work accordingly as that will help them in
developing and maintaining quality. By using the Total quality
management project manager can be able to maintain quality
of information in positive manner.
Communication
It is considered as factor through which researcher of project
will conduct communication with its audiences as well as team
members (Bhatta and Thite, 2019). In context of this research,
project manager will conduct communication with their
members by arranging meeting as well as in respect to
communicating with audiences they may adopt social media
platform. This is so because through it they can communicate
members as well as audiences in effective manner. In the
5

organisation by following hierarchy of information they
deliver the potential information to employees regarding
elimination of gender pay gap.
Risk
This refers to the hurdles or barriers which may arise while
conducting any work or project. In respect of this research,
there are some risk which may take place such as time duration
is less, budget allotted is less, members are unskilled and less
experienced, audiences not respond properly and many more.
So it is essential for manager of project to create proper as well
as effective strategies as per the given time and funds as well
as they also need to provide proper training to team members
so that they can develop their skills and perform properly. In
context of organisation the major risk is not proper
implementation of the orders.
Resources
It is consider as all those resources that are needed by a person
with the motive of complete a specific project or work
(Cerezo-Narváez and et.al., 2019). Moreover in respect of this
project, researcher required numbers of resources such as time,
skilled and experienced team members, funds and many more.
Through all these resources project manager will be able to
implement all research related activities in effective way that
will support them in accomplishing set goal. In context of
organisation they need the resources is proper management,
task and responsibilities and many more.
P3.
For an organisation to frame the project in a structured way required to avail different
types of techniques that needs to be done work in effective way. In context of Rowlinson
Knitwear Gantt chart as well as Work break down structure will help organisation can be able
to frame out activities in systematic format that are as follows:
6

Gantt chart:
Gantt chart can be represented in the form of horizontal bar chart that is formed as an
important kind of construction tool and frequently used in the project management. This support
in providing the graphically illustration of the whole schedule to accomplish the work by
coordinating and tracking specific task in a projects (Chapman, 2019). Through Gantt chart
approach project manager can be able to divide works and activities in proper manner. In
respective project the by using Gantt chart a project manager can be able to identify the time
period taken by different task and activities in order to accomplish set goals.

Work break down structure:
WBS is a type of project management that provides the visual representation of the
detailed deliverables for a project (Derakhshan, Turner and Mancini, 2019). By representing
key milestones in a hierarchical manner enables to simplify the large projects into smaller parts
and into manageable groups by asking questions, determine needs and breaking down the scope
into small chunks that helps to gain desirable outcomes. WBS tool will be very helpful for
project manager can be able to understand very quickly if estimation will exceed from the
intended budget or deadline.
M1
To conduct the project on the specified subject matter required the project management
plan that designed to guide and control the project activities. The major deliverables of the
project plan is communication, resources, time frame, quality and scope (Irfan, Hassan and
8

Hassan, 2019). In respective project the time frame to accomplish the project is six months and
messages should be communicated in hierarchical manner. In building aims and objectives
consist of the time period is 15 days and in collecting information it is 22 days, data collection is
28 days. So the major milestone are collecting information from various respondents and
accumulate in proper manner in order to remain competitive.
D1
In the words of William Malsam, in this process of management and in research
methodologies consist of the collecting information on the specified subject matter, compare it
with other sources and collect appropriate kind of information in regards of it so that valuable
outcomes should be achieved (Project Management Processes & Phases, 2020). In respective
project the potential research methodologies is Primary, secondary research and Quantitative
research methodologies that helps to give accurate data and information to the organisation but
on other hand primary research takes too much time to collect knowledge and information. With
secondary source is not too much reliable to collect information hence it is very potential for
organisation to use collaboratively all the methodologies.
TASK 2
P4
Research methodology can be defined as definitive processes or techniques that are used
by organisations to identify, process, select and analyse information regarding a specific topic.
There are various types of research such as descriptive, analytical, quantitative, qualitative,
empirical etc. Primarily, organisations use qualitative and quantitative techniques to collect data
and gather knowledge (Hillson, 2017). The various methods of collecting information as well as
data are explained below -
Primary method
Primary methods refer to those methods that are used by the researcher to collect first
hand information from either customers, employees of a company or other respondents who are
the target respondents of the research. The data that is collected is authentic, accurate and
reliable for which various methods like questionnaires, surveys, observations, experiments etc.
The methods do not require a lot of investment but are very time consuming as the researcher has
9

to interact with every respondent individually. There are several advantages and disadvantages of
these methods that are described below -
The advantages of primary methods of research are that the data that is collected is first
hand and accurate. Also, there are less chances of the data being wrong because the respondents
themselves respond to the questions. On the other hand, the process consumes a lot of time and is
not always possible to conduct. In respective project the primary method of collecting data
should be used as it is most important and provide authenticate results that helps in decision
making process.
Secondary methods
Secondary data can be defined as the data that is readily available in the form of journals,
books, documents, reports etc. and is more economical to use. Secondary sources of data can
provide interpretations and conclusions that can prove to be valuable for the researcher
(Polonsky and Waller, 2018). Examples of the sources include – diaries, letters, reports, official
statistical data, research analysis, books etc. The advantages of these methods are that they
provide authentic and reliable data which can be used. Also, secondary methods help in saving
time as well as cost that is otherwise involved in collecting the same. Disadvantages of
secondary methods of research can be their non specificity to one's needs.
Quantitative and Qualitative research
Quantitative research can be defined as a research that particularly deals with numbers,
logic and statistics. The main characteristics of the research are that the data that is gathered is
usually collected using various research instruments and the results are based on a large sample
size (Bell and Harrison, 2018). The researcher is aware of the research question and the primary
objectives for conducting the research. Various tools that can be used for conducting a
quantitative research are questionnaires, surveys and observation. On the other hand, a
qualitative research can be defined as the research that addresses questions dealing with non-
numerical data and helps in gaining information about reasons and opinions about a topic. In
respective project the both the qualitative research tool is used that is non numerical method that
helps to understand the social reality of individuals, groups and cultures and exploratory in
natures by seeking 'How' and 'way' a particular phenomenon operates. So it is very much
effective for respective project.
Sampling
10

Sampling can be defined as the process of selecting a predetermined number of
observations from a large populations. Different kinds of sampling like random or systematic
sampling can be used by the researcher depending on the kind of research that is being
undertaken. Sampling is an important component of a research which can help in avoiding bias
which is also its primary objective. The method used is random sampling, the sample size is 20
respondents and are customers of the respective company. Random sampling is the best way of
selecting the sample form the large population of interest. The major advantage behind using
respective tool that it target large no. of individuals by eliminating bias so for respective project
random sampling is best for them.

in order to collect necessary knowledge and information. By using the primary and secondary
source of information that helpful in collecting validate information in cost effective manner.
With the help of qualitative research tool that provides suitability to measure the results and
compare easily with other results in order to achieve desirable outcomes. But on other hand the
primary method of collecting information is costly in nature. Qualitative methodology relies on
the experience of the researcher.

Equality and diversity at the workplace plays very much important role in the gaining
desirable outcomes from the people in order to remain competitive in the marketplace. Equality
and diversity helps to build a positive work environment in which each and every individual can
give one of their best efforts in achieving the organisational goals and objectives. It is significant
for organisation to recruit people from diverse background and manage them in effective
manner. Here are the recommendations in context of Rowlinson Knitwear to resolve issues:
 It is very important for an organisation to provide equal opportunities to each and every
individual by not discriminating on grounds of sex, religion, creed and language. By
treating in equitable manner helps to gain desirable goals and objectives from employees.
 On the basis of conducting research it has been concluded that information should be
collected from the large no. of respondents such as in respective research the no. of
respondents is 20 so that validate results should be achieved. By using the various kinds
of methods project manager can be able to gain desirable outcomes
 In an organisation while people treated equally which helps to build a positive work
environment that is the important attribute for employees to remain for long time and
serve the organisation.

c) Lower productivity

 From the above discussion it has been summarised that Equality and diversity plays very
much important role in organisational as well as individual development positively. It is
crucial to pay equally without discriminating on behalf of gender so that people can give
one of their best efforts.
M3
To gain accurate knowledge and information from the respondents required some best
tools such as interview, observation, questionnaire and survey. In respective project to collect
knowledge and information one of best tool is questionnaire by using the random sampling that
selects people from the larger population that directly influence on the validity of information in
positive manner. Questionnaire is one of most appropriate tool can be able to take reviews and
opinions from large no. of people and very convenient in nature. But on other hand it takes too
much time and cost. The sampling method used in respective project that saves time to the great
extent by lessen down the volume of data. The disadvantage of respective factor that it is
judgemental in nature.
TASK 4
P7
I am very happy that I got opportunity to conduct my initial research on such as wide
topic i.e. “Issues or concerns faced by an organisation while not maintaining the equality and
diversity at the workplace”. There are four members in my team who all belongs from different
location as well as their language, working style and culture are also differ from mine. So I can
said that I also got opportunity to expand my knowledge as well as understanding related to the
different culture and working style. But while I am conduct research work I go through several
issues because we all belongs from different culture and location due to which our working style
are also different that create conflict situation many time. Along with this, there is also
occurrence of communication gap between us due to which we not able to able to interact with
each other even for resolving issues or problems. There are also several other issues from which
I go through such as time allotted to us is less as well as fund are also not appropriate for
attaining our goal effective. Due to these we not able to conduct information gather practices
according to the set standard which affect our desire outcome. These are the main problems from
20

which I go through while conducting research activities, then in order this resolve this we all sit
together and decide to use commonly known language i.e. English because through which we
can minimise our communication gap. Moreover in order to resolve issue related to work we all
divide our work as well as we also develop proper frameworks accordingly which we conduct
research work properly. On the other hand, there are numbers of benefits that I gain through
conducting this research such as I able to develop my understanding as well as knowledge about
the gender pay and inequality which take place at workplace. Furthermore I also able to know
different factors which impact on the performance of employees due to gender pay gap as well as
I also identified several strategies which a company may adopt in order to minimise gender pay
gap at their workplace. There are also numbers of skills that I enhanced while conducting
research activities such as I able to improve my communication skills in the team because while
overcoming issues related to communication I analyse each and every situation. That will help
me in understand how to interact with other who are generally different for our culture or
location. Along with this I also able to enhance my team working skills, conflict resolution skills,
understand skills and many more. These all enhanced as well as improved skills will help me in
my future because in future I need to conduct may project in team and at that time I can easily
communicate with my team members as well as it will help me in conducting work properly by
understand other perspectives. Through this project I also able to learn how to accomplish a
project effectively if allotted time and budget is low. From the above discussion it has been
stated that objective of the research accomplished in specified time period positively.
M4
Project management process is very much potential for the project manager as it able to
deliver the consistent results, reduce the cost and increase the level of efficiency in process and
results which ultimately provides the competitive advantage to the organisation. Good quality
research provides the evidences that is robust, ethical and able to scrutiny that informed to policy
making. It helps to adhere with the professionalism, transparency and accountability with
audibility in order to remain competitive in marketplace. So in respective project by using
primary, secondary and quantitative research that all helps in provide validate information. To
learning for future is leading people and communication in order to gain desirable outcomes.
21

D2
Respective project proved very much beneficial for me as it helps to develop the
communication and leadership skills as the team members belongs from different culture in order
to gain desirable outcomes. The major recommendations that organisation needed to implement
the project in proper manner by describe the importance of elimination of gender pay gap. As per
the project outcome organisation needed to overcome from the adverse impact of the inequality
at the time of work duration. So it is very much important for organisation to analyse and
evaluate the norms in the organisation and apply them in appropriate manner.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it has been concluded that Equality and diversity is very much
important for an organisation as it assist in improving the employees motivation and productivity
positively. Due to the not paying equally to people in organisation as per their equal skills and
capabilities hinders self interest in gaining desirable outcomes. So it is important to create
healthy culture in which every one can give one of their best efforts as per assign tasks and
responsibilities.
