INTRODUCTION
Equality as well as diversity is considered as a concept that is necessary for growth and

that must be discussed in this assignment (zum Felde, 2019).
PART 1
A) Establishment of aim and objectives
The present research is based upon the company which is named as Airdri that focuses on
dealing with different types of equipment across different locations of UK. The research is based
on the development of different tactics that is adopted by company. Based on these there are
different kinds of innovative procedure and strategy that must be recommended by company
according to the equality act 2010 (Sayles, 2017). In assistance of this there are different kinds of
recommendation that is solving different kind of problem that must be connected to Equality as
well as diversity that prevailing in organisation.
Aim of the research
1

The aim of this report is to determine the role that must be played by organisation to
implement equality as well as diversity that also decreases the overall impact on gender pay gap
within company the case study which is adopted for the organisation named as Airdri
Research objective
 To recognise the concept related to maintaining diversity as well as inclusive workforce.

 To assess the efficiency of maintaining diverse and inclusive workforce.
Research question
 Define concept of maintaining diverse as well as inclusive subordinates?
 What are the tactics that must be adopted by the manager of Airdri to maintain diverse as
well as inclusive workforce?
 Define the significance of maintaining diverse as well as inclusive workforce?
B) A project management plan that covers, aim and deliverables, time, quality, communication,
risk and resources
A project improvement plan signifies that the activity or function that must be carried out
by the investigator for achieving objective of research. This plan is implemented by involving
various aspects and that are important for finishing the research in timely manner. It signifies the
detailed proposal related to project that determine the cost, scope, tactics, risk that is related to
project and so on. It is important for the manager to determine the starting as well as ending date
in which the project must be completed. They also considered the risk that must be involved in
completing a finishing the project in timely manner (Keyes, 2016). It is the responsibility of
manager to determine the resources that must be needed, what actions needed to include for
successful completion of project. There is the explanation regarding various components related
to project improvement plan that is going to be mentioned below:
 Cost: It signifies cost that must be required to carry out procedure of the organisation. Cost
is considered as an important factor for the project and it is the responsibility of project
manager to manage the cost in appropriate manner for growth and development of project.
The management of organisation required £1000 to implement research function in context
of achieving aim as well as objective of research. While conducting survey is important for
2

having £400 performing the whole investigation procedure and collecting the necessary data
or information in better way.
 Scope: Scope is related to the investigation project that helps in increasing the knowledge in
respect of inclusive as well as diverse workforce. It is considered as a broader scope that
helps the researcher in implementing for completing the project in timely manner. The scope
of the project determine the developing process or plan of action related to Gantt chart that
help in assessment of work breakdown structure in context of project that must be handled
and also decide the time taken by the subordinate for completing the particular project.
 Time it signifies the duration of time taken for implementing the project in good way. In
context of research the surveyor requires around 5 week for completing their investigation in
good way. They focus on maintaining a blueprint that help in handling the routine related to
work for the constant improvement of the activity and function related to project. Therefore
the project manager of Airdri focuses on carry out their project within a given time for the
growth and development of the company (Panova and Hilletofth, 2018).
 Qualities it is considered as efficiency as well as the effectiveness that help in increasing the
value or quality. Thus it signifies that the quality related to research project in context of the

explanation of quality to understand regarding the barrier that must be present in order to
build effectiveness or quality of project. So that the manager focuses on tackling the quality
related to project in good way.
 Communication it signifies the form through which the persons interact with each other.
Therefore for collecting or gathering data and information the researcher focuses on use of
appropriate Tools and techniques of communication like chat box, email as well as messages
and so on. Therefore it is required as well as significant that are that must be forward to it
subordinate that help in achieving as well as objective for completing the project of Airdri
(Abdullah and Foo, 2019).
 Risk it is considered as a complexities or difficulty that must be faced by the researcher for

assists manager to divide member of team in order to complete work in timely manner.

timely manner. The horizontal axis of this chart determines the time taken to complete the
project on the other hand vertical Axis determine the task which is necessary to completed.
By performing these kinds of techniques the researcher focuses on completing or finishing
the project in timely manner. The Gantt chart shows the success or growth of the project and
all sources by the manager to complete the task or work related to project in timely manner.
It is important for handling the duration of time which is taken for completing a particular

well as technique helps in collection of sample from the group of individual person. In
reference of present project of the research investigator focuses on selection of the sample of
30 people from the subordinate of Airdri by building appropriate implementation as well as
use of simple random sampling method.
 It is considered as a document that helps in determining a variety of questions in respect of
specific subjects that help in collecting data information from various individual people. It is
