Literature Review:
To review about the phenomena of diverseness and equality at workplace of an
organisation.
According to the views of Lynne Callister. 2019, diversity and equality at workplace is a
wide concept which reflects upon the practices going on the firm in relation with equal
opportunities being provided to all personnels according to their skills and position and how they
are being treated by management and other colleagues. Diversity and equality is a practice by
which firms are suggested to hire of all kinds, belonging to separate backgrounds and providing
each employee equal chances and opportunities to grow (Heldman, 2018). Diversity in
workforce renders them a widen range of employees bring better and fresh thinking developing
creative and innovative ways of working and performing separate tasks. Bringing equality in
company is the characteristic of the culture in workplace. Organisational culture plays a major
role in developing and environment in which all personnels are provided equal opportunities to
showcase their talents and mover further in career through their skill set and capabilities.
To evaluate how the company policies of Burberry made on equality and diversity translate
and create impact on employee's day to day activity.
According to Louise Petty. 2016, diversity and equality in workplace brings positive and
beneficial results for the organisation but can impact negatively if appropriate balance is not
developed in company. Burberry is an international brand which is operating and serving to
customers all over world. This fact implies that company is exposed to several social
environment and societies with different religions, lifestyles, traits, age etc. making necessary to
have diverse workforce and being treated equally in the workplaces. Employee needs to be
motivated and one factor which plays a major role in it is potential and equal opportunities of
moving further in their careers and getting higher position in organisation with their talents and
capabilities (Butler, Vijayasarathy and Roberts, 2020).

To determine better ways which could be adopted by Burberry to lead an inclusive and fair
workplace environment.
Workplace equality and diversity is must and a mandatory factors nowadays in modern
business and organisational environment. Governments of different regions have developed
multiple laws and regulations for protecting rights of employee and keep them safe in working
environment and equality and diversity is a major element of those laws. Thus, the result is
company integrates their internal policies and regulations with the laws developed by
government in relation to diversity and equality. In order to make better measures the
management of Burberry have to be more strict and dedicated towards removing any
discrimination form the environment of and also to make sure that every level of operational
have diverse employees with equal opportunities and capabilities (Fernando and et. al., 2018) .
P2) Project management plan
A project management plan is a document holding blueprints for all the required data and
information for successfully completing a project in the allotted time frame. The project
management plan is a process of Planning, Implementing, Controlling, Executing and
Monitoring all tasks and actions undertaken for completing the whole project and obtaining the
goals behind it. Few elements of a Project management plan are as under:
 Cost refers to the total amount that is required to complete the project in required time
and by accomplishing all goals. In order to conduct research on the topic the cost of
£68000 which is divided further.
 Time referring to the period that is days, months or years required for gaining appropriate
results for the research and which is of around 3 weeks.
4

 Scope is a future aspect of the research and dependent upon it, therefore it is a
compulsion that the research study project gets completed in the prescribed time by
facing all complexities and the factors which are affecting the study externally or
internally (Kerzner, 2019).
 Quality of the project depend upon the quality of effective results gathered after
completion of project and the aim of it being accomplished with utmost efficiency. The
researches efforts and potentials defines and reflects upon the quality of outcomes and
research results.
 Communication is an effective tool and ability which an investigator have to have in
order to develop appropriate conversations and interactions with other while conducting
their study. There are several communication channels and tools which will be beneficial
for the researcher and enable them to conduct potential communication with others.
 Risk is one element which is associated with all the projects and their processing.
Investigators have to make changes and efforts for mitigating the risks and their impacts
over their project and its outcomes (Yıldırım and Korkmaz, 2019).
 Resources are the relative items tangible or intangible that are necessary for the
investigator for conducting their study and which contributes to gaining factual
information and develop a potential database for supporting the research results with
evidence.
P3) Gantt chart and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
Gantt Chart, is a table formate document which is used as a blue print for managing the
whole project and complete it on time with utmost efficiency. Gantt chart is used for scheduling
all the required tasks to be performed and renders better knowledge to researcher about the
dependency of all the activities on each other and over resources (Sumner, 2018).
5

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), is a method of dividing all the task and essential
activities of conducting the study into small groups and place them into segments according to
their characteristics and nature of work. Work Breakdown Structure enable more clarity to
investigator and assist them in making improved analysis and face complexities with correct
measures (Tidd and Bessant, 2018).
LO2
P4) Small scale research
Research is an investigation which the researcher conducts or undertakes for gaining
knowledge about specific topic or for fulfilling particular aims and objectives. Research is a
combined as well as individual process people can work together to gather information and data
on a particular topic or can work individually. Most often complex and lengthy researches are
conducted in groups small researches are performed by individuals. The aim for which
researchers conduct a thorough and in depth research is to know and develop utmost
understanding about a particular topic in order to attain higher and factual information on
7

specific aspects. Research can be performed in two ways either by Qualitative measure or
through Quantitative tools (Paschek and et. al., 2018).
 Qualitative Research- This is a research method in which data or information collected
by researchers are in theoretical form and through open-ended opinions of respondents
are gathered or form other existing sources.
 Quantitative Research- This is a research form in which the investigator collects data in
statistical by using number and figures such as graphs and tables. Quantitative research
data is collected by various means such as through questionnaires, feedbacks, collection
and many other. This research methods help in developing constructive and productive
results.
◦ Primary Research- This is a data collection technique through which investigator
develops means for gaining new knowledge which do not exist in market before.
◦ Secondary Research- This is a data collection method by which researchers gather
data from external and internal sources and sort it to develop a new insight
(Bagherzadeh and et. al., 2019).
▪ Sampling- It is a method of collecting primary and secondary data in which
researcher targets a group that integrates the perspectives of whole population for
completing their research. The sample size for this research is of 35 respondents.

P7) Reflection
The research topic is of Diversity and Equality in workplace which is conducted by me
enabled me to generate an in depth analysis and knowledge about the same and the importance of
topic in relation with benefits and favours developed for the company. The concept of diversity
and equality induces and develops a positive environment in company which is reflected by the
culture and hierarchical structure of organisation. It is one of the vital prospect which
concentrates upon fair and unbiased practices being followed in the entity while performing tasks
and completing project in the prescribed time for achieving short and long term goals.
Through the research is gained information and knowledge about the topic from multiple
literatures and a common idea which I received form the opinions of different experts is that
diverseness and equality in organisation is a practice which is covered under modern workplace
concept and for which governments have taken sever actions. According to my
acknowledgement, the profitability, performances, growth, success and goals achievement of a
business depends upon its workforce and their effectiveness while working. Personnels and their
effectiveness is affected by biased and unfair work environment and actions taken by the
management and leaders of company. Therefore, it is mandatory for leaders and managers to
make improvement in their actions and keep staff motivated and develop an fair and unbiased
environment in the workplaces.
Also, for conducting this research is have made use of two broad ways of performing
research that are qualitative and quantitative. Both are efficient sources of knowledge which are
potential for people to use and most commonly used by all investigators. While doing so I got to
gather information about two ways of data collection which are constructive and renders ease to
researchers like me in collecting most relevant and factual data for reaching to a potential
conclusion. I have used Gantt chart and Work Breakdown Structure for keeping and maintaining
my focus on all tasks and for making appropriate analysis at every level by investing ample time
and hard work. Also, while collecting data is divided the whole population into segments and
selecting a random sample of 35 respondents. There were few challenges which I faced while
making arrangements and performing my tasks for collecting evident information and data over
the topic such as insufficient statistical data and figures, irrelevant data collected and created
difficulties in sorting data for the best use.
22

CONCLUSION
From discussion conducted above in the report it is summarised that companies becomes
successful and grow eventually with development and implementation of specific strategies that
are beneficial for achieving goals and aims. The report considers the topic of diversity and
equality in workplace indicating towards its importance for the company to learn and develop
creative ways of working and stay competitive in the marketplace by aligning operations with
modern workplaces practices and inducing motivation level of people.
