Managing a successful
business project

TOPIC
Equality and diversity at the workplace.
INTRODUCTION
Equality and diversity both components are considered as internal elements of an
organisation and they connect with firm in direct way to achieve and attain high extent of profit
margins and productivity in an appropriate manner. Diversity indicates to the aggregation of
various civilization, beliefs, values, religions, language and others on account of similarities. It
states to those components that make individuals unique from each others (Athanasoulias and
Chountalas, 2017). Equality refers to sameness and similarities of the people and employees like
all the workforce treated in same way by the management of the company on the basis of values,
culture, ethics and others in a company. If the firm does not treat employees in equal way then
discrimination arise at work force in different form like, gender pay gap, recruitment policy on
social cultural background, gender and promotion etc. This report is based on The Ledbury
which is a restaurant and Located in London. The written document will consist information
about aims, objectives and project management plan that consider various aspects. Further, will
describe research methodologies and data collection methods that are effective to gather
information. In last, suggestions and reflection will explain on the basis of experience of
researcher and task actions.
TASK 1
P1. Project aims and objectives
Overview of company- The Ledbury is a restaurant which is incorporated in 2005 and located in
Ledbury Road, Notting Hill and founded by Brett Graham. This company has its branches in
London and England and offer its services in UK. It is a middle size organisation so the seatting
capacity is 55 people.

“To analyse the strategies through which gender pay gap can be overcome from the
workplace of the company. A study on The Ledbury.”
Research Objectives
 To analyse the impact of gender pay gap on employee's performance.
 To measure the challenges that can be face by The Ledbury due to gender pay gap.

 To determine the strategies that can be use by The ledbury to overcome the impact of
gender pay gap .
Research Questions
 What is the influence of gender pay gap on workforce execution?
 What are the challenges that can be suffer by the management of The Ledbury due to
gender pay gap at workplace?
 What are the plan of actions that can be implement by The Ledbury to overcome the
issues that are generating cause of gender pay gap?
P2. Produce a project management plan that covers different aspect
This plan can be describe as set of activities that is helpful in effective and efficient
functioning organisation. This includes proper structures of organisation that is necessary and
helpful for researcher to complete various project activities in effective manner. Project
management plan includes various steps that is supportive in management of different activities
of project in order to perform task in batter manner (Bell and Harrison, 2018). Project
management plan is developed with the motive of identifying different aspect of project plan
which is necessary for effective performance of project. Management of project plan is
supportive in evaluating cost of project, time or various other element which is mandatory for
investigator to accurately management project plan. Different components of management of
project plan is mention below in detail.
Cost– This includes different the overall cost which is compulsory by researcher to
perform all activities of project in effectual way. Cost refer to the funds that is need to perform
all task of research. It is essential to have appropriate funds and cost in order to perform different
research task in correct way. For this research approx 250 £ will be needed in order to manage
all task in effective way. For whole project report 450 £ amount of funds will be required to
successful complete all activities of project.
Scope – It is crucial for researcher to analyse the scope of research project as this will
help in identifying impact on equality and diversity at workplace. Through this researcher will be
able to determine different ways by which company will be able to perform activities (Bibarsov,
Khokholova and Okladnikova, 2017). Scope of this researcher will help in identifying the
influences of gender pay gap of organisation as well as business activities.

Time – This refer as the time period that will be required by researcher to perform
different activities of researcher. It is crucial for investigator to analyse or ascertain the
approximation of period of time which is needful by researcher in order to correctly perform all
task of project. Time which is mandatory by researcher for culmination of this program is 6
months (Buttrick, 2018). This researcher will be completed in time frame of 4 months.
Researcher needs to set appropriate time as per different task and activities of research.
Quality – It is crucial for investigator to keep the attribute to maintain quality of
activities. In this investigation project, investigator is collecting data and information from
different sources. This will lead to have direct impact on quality of research. So it is essential
that investigator is gather data form relevant resources as well as using in it in appropriate
manner. This is help in creating an effective searches with high quality of information. Quality is
significant for setting higher standards of researcher in order to attain set outcomes.
Communication - Communicate is considered as crucial components of this plan and this
will support in collecting data. In this research, it is necessary for investigator to communicate
with various individual for gathering more accurate and right data. Effective communication will
help in gather and analysing data in appropriate manner in order to perform various task in
required way.
Risk – There are different types of risk that could occur while completion of research
project in appropriate way. It is essential to identify and determine all set of risk in order to
develop better strategies for minimizing risk. The major hazard that is connected to this
investigation project includes lack of time, insufficient funds and other resources.
Resources – It is significant for researcher to use all resources in correct and accurate
manner. This will help in successful performance of research as well as timely achievement of
set objectives. It is required that researcher is using better tools and techniques to use various
resources in appropriate manner (Cleden, 2017). This will lead to accomplish of desired
objectives of researcher with provided resources.
P3. Produce a work break down structure and Gantt chart to provide time frames
It is very important for investigator to identify and analyse the time frame that is required to
perform different activities in effective manner. Time frame will help in providing appropriate
period of time that is essential for successful completion of business task. This will aid in better
decision making as well as setting guideline to conduct task and activities of research. It is
3

crucial for researcher to develop and produce proper stages and time frame. This will lead to
smooth functioning of investigation activities. There are different method such as work
breakdown structures and Gantt chart that will support researcher to take better decision for
conduct research task in proper way.
Work breakdown structure
This is tool that will be researcher to execute research in proper and effectual way. This
structure is define as the key components of the project work that is helpful in organising as well
as managing different task of project in better and effective manner. This is a significance
method that support in simplifying complex task into smaller parts (Defusco, 2017). So that
researcher can manage different task of project in better way. This structure can be represented in
the form of hierarchical tree that will lead to classify different activities of research project in
smaller parts in order to complete researcher project impressive way.
