TOPIC
“To understand various skills which are requisite for managing and implementation of
project and to understand concept of equality and diversity within workplace.” A case study on
Giacom.
INTRODUCTION
A successful business is associated with collection of various efforts by which
competitive edge can be received. In the aggressive market high efforts are required to be placed
by the business so that to get assistance related to market competence. In order to attain success
this is highly required by business that they adopt various strategies in which policies of the
business can be managed in proper manner along with high efficacy. With the help of
constructive strategy abilities and capacities of the business can be improvised which may lead in

workforce of the company get managed in such a way that they contribute in improvising
standard of the business. Inside the business operation equality can be promoted by which
candidates are not differentiated on the basis of religion, culture, race and many other factors.
Without differentiating employees on above factors employees are provided knowledge and
experience within job. Some challenges are there which are faced in between the process of
implication of equality and diversity in the business such as generation gap, understanding
problem, communication barrier and many more. This report is based on Giacom which is an IT
company providing wide range of services to their customers and headquartered in UK. The
company was founded by Nick Marshall and b y providing durable services the company is
flexibly maintaining their market. This report is providing execution plan and small scale
research in which recommendation are also provided.
TASK 1
Aims and objectives
Equality within the workforce or workplace is helping the business to improvise working
style and work tendency in which abilities are provided that are highly useful in attaining
sufficiency inside business (Ashe and Nazroo, 2017). On the contrary in support of the issues
which are faced within workplace such as language problem, communication problem and many
more. These barriers are acting as dodge in order to interact in effective manner with employees.
2

Communication barrier is prominently creating huge complications in business by which high
complexities may be faced in order to tackle market situation. Some of the skills are requisite in
order to manage project in effective manner so that to have better implementation. The equality
and diversity in the business is able to introduce changes within work life and have capability to
provide equivalent opportunities to all the workforce irrespective of constraints other than their
calibre and qualification (Bagherzadeh and et. al., 2019). Equality is rendering continuous
improvement in which career of individual can be advanced. While by diversity within
workplace talented employees can be attracted those are belonging to various place and regions.
By inhaling diversity and equality positive values can be placed in account of varied personnel.
Equality and diversity are the concepts which are upraising business potential in which job
culture can be improvised and discrimination can be avoided.

Literature Review
What is meant by equality and diversity?
As in context of India Wentworth, 2018, equality is all about ensuring that all the
workforce is getting equivalent opportunities in which they are treated fairly. In order to prevent
workforce from discrimination equal environment is provided within workplace. Within this
3

aspect employees are able to attain better facilities by which requirements of the business can be
fulfilled. This is an exceptional aspect form age, gender and race in which potential of work.
The progress of employees are wholly dependent on equality and varied workforce in which
success of the employees can be measured in order to manage individuals life in prominent
manner. In contrary diversity is about keeping varied workforce in the organisation so that
innovative ideas can be inhaled by which every aspect of business can be looked in different
perspective so that rebuilding can be enumerated (Barak, 2016). Equality Act 2010, is a
legislation which is imposed on businesses in order to protect rights of employees and avoid
vulnerable practices like age, disability, religion and gender resentment.
What are the influence of equality and diversity within workplace?
As per viewpoint of Lousie Petty, 2016, diversity and equality is highly appreciated
within organisation and these aspects are implemented irrespective of number of employees.
Equality and diversity are two major concepts of business by which aims and objective of
business can be attained and immense opportunities are inhaled as well so that accessibility can
be provided. This promotes an environment which is free from any harassment, discrimination
and bullying. These factors are having prominent role in tackling business in appropriate manner
so that success factors can be seen and inhaled as well. These aspects are implemented in order
to eliminate discrimination which is unlawful and hampers business image in the marketplace.
Equality act is associated with 9 characteristics such as disability, age, race, sex, sexual
orientation, pregnancy, maternity, marriage, civil partnership, belief, religion and gender
reassignment etc. Diversity is helpful in developing the business and facing challenges by which
continual growth can be measured (Beazley, Ball and Vernon, 2017).
What is the significance of equality within workplace?
According to standpoint of Sophie Deering, 2020, diversity is a concept which is based
on age, culture, race and other concepts. These aspects are related to hiring individual by which
ratio between male an women can be balanced. There are numerous benefits of diversity and
fairness within workplace by which skills and capabilities of employees can be enhanced. This is
helpful in inhaling innovation and to execute strategies in prominent manner. Language skills are
opening perfection and profit ratio at global level.
What are the issues those are generated due to equality and diversity?
4

As the view point of Sophia Lee, 2020, workplace diversity is providing priority in which
initiatives can be taken in order to provide better investment for the company so that new ways
of success and development can be undertaken. By maintaining effective focus and concern
promotion towards humanity can be exerted. This enhances benefits of external and internal
prospects (Enkel, E. and et. al., 2018). This inhale challenges in the business by which business
practices can be aligned towards diversity and fulfilling commitments in order to align future
goals. This is highly required that diversity is related to proper implementation in which support
can be carried out in which purpose of the business can be served in better manner. The
management of training is highly useful in maintaining cooperation which is obtained with high
interaction within employees.
To analyse complexities which are generated due to inequality and dissimilarity?
In the reference of Jay Sullivan, 2019, in order to enhance experience people are trying to
understand people so that their view point can be understood and appreciated as well. For this
companies are working hard and acknowledging employees so that major objective of the
company can be linked towards business opportunities. Diversity within company is highly
required and helps the business to upkeep humanity as well. Diversity is directly related to
language barrier in which employees are coming from different background and different
religion. As due to this chances of miscommunication get increased which leads to gap in
understanding. The generation gap is prominent in diversity as employees are from different age
group and this is not an easy task to manage these situation. Diversity is creating high
complexities in matching understanding level of each other in which the direct impact over
business can be drawn.
Project management plan
This is a document which is shown in written form and includes basic factors so as to
initiate the project in appropriate manner (Foedisch, 2018). This is associated with control,
execution, implementation and monitoring of various business activities in which strategies can
be formulated in such a way that modification can easily be rendered to the business. There are
some vital concepts which are included in this, those are explained as under:
 Cost: This is a prominent aspect in which Giacom gives ample funds to the researcher so
that research can easily be executed without facing any prominent complexity. This is
helpful in completing the project on time so that research can easily be completed. In this
5

context budget is being provided of £68000 to the researcher by Giacom in order to attain
high accessibility within project.
 Time: This reflects total period which is required by a researcher in order to complete
their research in effectual manner. This is signifiant that within given time frame project
can be completed so that high accuracy within project can be achieved. This is an
essential concept so 3 weeks are given to the researcher in order to complete following
research. Scope: This is associated with the concept of accomplishing major aim of the project.
This is one of the prominent factor in which outcomes are required to be gathered so as to
follow a path of goals achievement. With the help of this factor final outcomes of the
research can be analysed in better way and all the prominent possibilities of the project
can be ascertained. Quality: This aspect is related with checking of effectiveness of the project by which
operational implications can be drawn. In this aspect researcher is collecting evidences
and collectively inputting various aspects so by which probability of success can be
enhanced (Gonzalez and Simpson, 2020) Communication: This is a process under which interaction with different candidates is
processed in order to take out results of the research in easy and profitable manner. This
aspect is helpful in order to provide suitable interaction to the research by which proper
results can be drawn. This aspect is highly beneficial for establishing proper
communication by taking help of mobile phones, computer, internet etc.
6

 Risk: This is known as capabilities of research in which profitable activities can be
exerted in order to complete the project. This is highly necessary that risk which is
associated with the project is examined so that this can be eliminated at proper time. This
aspect is helpful for the researcher for eliminating complexities so that the same can be
taken within the project in order to collect appropriate outcomes.
 Resources: This is regarded as the source which is requisite to complete the task in
proper manner. These factors are wholly emphasised on obtaining efficiency within
business. The major resources for a research are printers, human resources, internet and
many more. These are helpful for completing the research process on time along with
attaining high efficacy.
Gantt chart and WBS
Gantt chart: This chart is used by researcher in order to manage overall project as this is
helpful in assigning time to each activity in which high efficacy can be attained. This is
reflection of dependencies on each other activities by which task of designing research in such a
way that high outcomes can be attained (Hauret and Williams, 2020). This chart is assisting
researcher in designing each and every activities in proper manner so that complexities can be
eliminated.

Work Breakdown structure: This structure is based on cutting down a whole process
into smaller parts so that to design the process in prominent manner. This structure is helpful for
the researcher in managing and controlling overall process in timely manner along with
accomplishing high efficacy (Kokkonen and Vaagaasar, 2018).
Project management process
Research is known a systematic process by which information is being collected by
researcher so that to take help in the process of research. This is a process in which on a
particular topic information can be gathered and understanding can be developed. With the help
of this aspect better understanding for a topic can be exerted.
Quantitative method: This method is used in order to collect related information such as
statistics, diagrams, graphs and tables. By using these aspects informations are collected so that
to make path for research and to formulate statistical path of research. This kind of research is
represented as a statistical representation and data is being analysed with the help of graphical
aspect. Researcher is getting high assistance for calculating final outputs by using computational
methods.
9

Qualitative method: This method is helpful in collecting information in unstructured
way and with the help of this researcher can frame open ended questionnaire and by
accumulating various feedbacks. This is helpful in maintaining constructive knowledge
regarding some topic and to enhance relatability this method is useful (Ma and Luc, 2020). Primary source: This source is known as the process in which researcher accumulates
various information by conducting questionnaire, collecting feedbacks and other
methods. These are the methods by which a researcher examine all the aspects by starting
everything at fresh.
 Secondary sources: In this process information are collected by researcher using
previously published data such as magazines, newspaper, f8inancial reports and many
more. This type of data collection can easily be collected by researcher so as to collect
authenticated data in such a way that proper direction can be executed to the research.
This source of data is highly reliable and can not be modified.
 Sampling: This is known as the systematic process in which number of data collectible is
being selected. In this research the sample size is taken as 30.

Recommendations
The research is being conducted in order to attain knowledge regarding equality and its
implications. This is developing various issues in which resolution is being enumerated. In
certain period of time equality and diversity these aspects are having some issues those are
required to solved so as to attain high success in research (Sharma, 2016). Every research is
laced with various negative and positive aspects and these recommendations are based on
converting those negative aspects into positives. Thus this is significant that in order to resolve
negative impacts of the research recommendations are to be adopted. Some of the
recommendations for Giocom are suggested as under:
 This is an essential aspect which is able to maintain effective communication and to
reduce internal complexities as well.
 Engagement of employees are required to be enhanced by conducting various programs
and enhance their collaboratives.
Reflection
The above research provides me an opportunity for completion of organisation research
in an accurate manner specifically to understand and analyse all aspects which is related with the
equality and diversity of workforce. Human resources are one of the major asset which leads an
organisation to complete all work in an organised manner. This defines there are various
operations and functions performed by management but they all are completed by engaging
human workforce within the company. Giacom is a medium sized organisation so for this
management to generate better profits for organisation (Sumner, 2018). This defines there are
different task performed by management and it relates with company goals so by understanding
19

human employees it is easy for me to understand company goals and objectives. It also define
company manage and complete there work by interpreting organisational goals and objectives.
This refers organisation undertake and manage conflicts which is leading business to adequate
better changes in the organisation. This defines to make longer perspective organisation analyse
and define perspective which leads in generating methods that helps to solve the challenges
which is related with company (Sundari, 2018). It also define company focus and undertakes
different factors that helps in identifying changes which ensure all skills and capabilities of
workforce provides parallel constructive process through which it is easy for me to implement
and make changes in individual process. While completing the research there are different topic
is undertake that leads me to complete all work in an organised manner such as communication
skill, research skill and team work. Some of the major skills that are improved by me through
analysing this research report is mention as follow:

undertaking the reading of books
because it helps me to improve
my performance by formulating

business is totally based on the strategy and initiative which are implemented by business for
promoting diverse related policy within the organisation. The main perspective for organisation
is to make and analyse company departments which helps in raising with selective outcome. This
also define there are various challenges faced by management and it raised with process of
company. It also define company implement equality-and-diversity related perspective for
improving company results and it helps in managing results that helps to improve engagement of
