Resources and cost considerations relating to your proposed research.
Time: For getting success in the project required to allocate the time in accomplishing the
attractive aims and targets (Chiambaretto, Massé and Mirc, 2019). In reference to respective task
it almost takes six months to get potential outcomes. In order to Fat bear it is significant for them
to identify the time frame to achieve outcomes and associated outcomes for earning wanted
results. It takes time in different activities such as allocation of resources and duties, managing
various activities and many more.
Quality: Quality of the project plays very much important role, as it enhance validity for the
long time. In context of respective project it has been analyze that to maintain quality researcher
only avail the primary tool to collect information or knowledge that is questionnaire by which
they collect reviews from various people. In context of Fat bear to enhance productivity of
employees wants to conduct research regarding significance of equality and diversity so they
instruct to use primary methods for enhancing validity of outputs.
Resources: Resources for achievement of project plays very much imperative role, in that

Cost: Cost for an organisation plays very much important role, as it provides information
regarding various sources that researcher need to collect. In context of respective project by
sourcing from banks and financial institutions organisation can be capable to persuade their work
in efficient way
A risk register covering the five main risks.
While proceeding the project it is essential to evaluate risk factor associated with it, it has
5

been analyze that there are no. of risks. Risk that associated with respective research is cost,
resource risk, time risk, residual risk and failure of project (Fleming, 2019). In context of Fat
bear to analyze the risk factor organisation advice to accumulate necessary information to
eliminate risk of failure of project to remain competitive in market place. In that regards it is
very important to measure the risk in which failure of project is one of most serious one. In that
regards it is effective to plan each and every attribute in potential manner for achieving desirable
outcomes.
Scope: The scope from research angle is wide as taking the assist of each primary and secondary
source in collection of statistics. This will help to calculate the consequences from the

Chapter 2: literature review:
Significance of equality and diversity

According to views of Wilkinson, 2019, Multicultural environment is also significant for
many organizations like team diversity is a representation of a positive attribute that can help in
enhancing performance of teams. It also helps in understanding the cultural diversity is a source
of insight and helps in production of constructive debates that can help in generation of more
creativity. The author also claims that there is generation of “Value in diversity” where members
of a group have their own unique perspective for creation of large skills, information and
approaches for achievement of certain individual potentials for the benefit of organization. There
is also a development of more learning opportunities for different workers for taking together
abilities, talent and experiences that can be common between colleagues. Diversity is very
helpful in developing of adjustment capabilities among employees of a organization that is very
essential to enhance their suitability towards various organizational functions.
Skills and knowledge possessed by a culturally diversified workforce can help in enhancement of
performance that is a source of insights and smarter teams help in boosting up of innovation and
creativity. With instance to Fat bear a culturally diverse team helps in creation and fostering of
more creativity in the organization as there are different views of each individual that helps in
higher quality decision that are made in the organization.
According to view points of Louis petty, 2016 equality and diversity is a issue that is relevant for
all workplaces irrespective of the type and nature of the industry. There has to be promotion of
equality & diversity practises in organisations in order to ensure that people are coming together
to achieve the common laid down objective of the organisation. Equality act was also introduce
in UK to eliminate any type of unlawful discrimination and promotion of positive relationships
among people. There has to be protection of people from nay type of discrimination that is based
on disability, age, gender reassignment, maternity, race, religion or beliefs (How Equality &
Diversity Improves Your Workplace: Examining the Benefits, 2016 ).
Problems arise out of equality and diversity
According to views of Edge T., (2018), there are different barriers that can arise because
of predominate culturally diverse groups that are part of a organization. Social direction is a most
crucial section of an individual’s character and workers from several country backgrounds suffer
lot of barriers at the place of work like misconception and confusion etc. Due to equality and
7

diversity, there are several issues that can be faced by the administration of Fat Bear Restaurant.
As firm evolves, they highly reflect the differences of culture and perspectives that exist in
current time. Workplace diversity indicates to the variety of differences among individual in an
establishment. That sounds simple, but diversity encompasses race, gender, ethnic team, age,
personality, cognitive style, tenure, organizational function, education, background and many
more. In respective firm, there are number of people are working within and they belong from
different region and use different languages in their communication which generate diversity in
working environment. Due to the nature of the two matters, companies experience several
challenges in realizing equality and diversity. Company realizes that administrating diversity is
more than just recognizing differences in people. In considers understanding the significance of
differences, avoiding discrimination and pushing for inclusiveness. Thus, the first issue is having
the right perspective about equality and diversity. The second challenge is administrators losing
personnel and expiring minimized work efficiency because of prejudice and discrimination as
well as complaints and legislative battles against the firm. Negative attitudes and demeanors can
be roadblocks to organizational equality and diversity since they are highly likely to harm
working relationships and influence self esteem, hence minimizing work productivity. In other
words, administrators may find it challenging addressing such negative attitudes and demeanors
as prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping, especially in relation to termination, retention and
hiring practices. In these references, these negative attitudes and demeanors could result in costly
litigation.
As per the view of Njiru M. (2014), several circumstances abilities possessed through a
different group is most beneficial in development of the group execution and in several situations
ineffective communication abilities direct to conditions of issues due to poor administration and
can influence the group execution in an unfavorable manner. There are several problems that are
having relation among managing diversity that is associated to communication of thought and
ideas can be sometimes much challenging to understand due to differences prevailing in
languages and culture. There are also several cross cultural obstructions such as vulnerability,
ethnocentrism and stereotyping that is due to deficient in social information and absence of open
skills. Employed from several nationality teams posses diversification in insight of viewing
several aspects and then it directs to creation of issue’s in acknowledging others perception that
can has an influence on workplace of a company. That ultimately forms an impact on the
8

efficiency of entire employees and inefficiency in executing several allotted fruitions to workers.
With example to Gat Bear Restaurant, there are more effectiveness need on part of leaders and
administrators to handle the unfavorable influence of and all the issues that are occurring due to
conception of equality and diversity in companies.
According to view points of Sheryl sandberg, 2019 there are generally two types of diversity
that includes acquired diversity that consist of differences in education, experiences and skills.
That may lead to constructive debate among st employees. And other is inherent diversity that
involves differences that are arsing because of age, race and gender. It may lead to creation of
interpersonal conflict among employees as there are prejudices and biases that require careful
management to avoid situation of low performance of employees. Some of the commonly
associated issues that can arise in case of Fat bear restaurant includes the communication issues
as the communication between team members can be a challenges because of the diverse
background to which they belong. There can be two many opinions because diverse employees
may posses different ways of approaching a particular situation. There can be a scenario of
hostility in instances when the top management is nor able to make judgment or decisions based
on logic and facts. Sometimes the poor performance scenario can lead to reduction in morale,
innovation and productivity among the whole workforce which ultimate leads to non
achievement of laid objectives of the organization (Top Challenges Of Diversity In The
Workplace, 2019).
Chapter 3: methodology Justification:
Advantages of proposed method:
Surveyor has selected a qualitative research approach that is one of the best suitable
strategy that can be used for achievement of desired results. It helps in having a in-depth picture
of the whole project. Difference semi structure Questionnaires are very helpful for the researcher
in achievement results with the assistance of questionnaire. The chosen topic requires a in depth
analysis of by studying the subject in a detailed manner.
Disadvantage of proposed method:
9

One of the basic demerit of the method selected by researcher is that data analysis is a
complex activity and can be highly subjective for the purpose of using primary research as a
method of research.
There is also a disadvantage associated that there is no proper generational of results of entire
inhabitants because the sample is very small and process is purposive in some aspects of the
research. The skills required by Questionnaireer requires extensive preparation that has to be
considered for preparation of Questionnaire.
For accomplishing organisational goals and objectives it is very much important to build
time frame that provides guidance to pace towards the definite direction in order to achieve
desirable goals and objectives.
Methodology justification
For collecting the significant type of information and information it is important to use
research tools and techniques from the various sources that helps in taking important kind of
decisions and enhance viability of outcomes in potential manner (nyusheva, Thammashote and
Thongaim, 2020). To accumulate knowledge and information majorly two kinds of
methodologies existed that is qualitative and quantitative as per the objective researchers select

collecting useful information and draw the conclusion for the manager and leader in the
organisation.
Research philosophy: the investigator uses interpretive philosophy which helps in providing
the data effectiveness information that will help in conducting the research in most effective
manner. Another philosophy which can be used in the research is a positivism which provide
the way which helps in interpreting the results in most suitable manners.( Foster, 2015.)
Data collection: in the market they are two types of way to collect the data , one is primary
collection methods were data are collected for the first time in the target market places. Another
method is secondary where the data are collected by someone else and used by the another
investigators so that important information can be collected in the most effective and
appreciated manners. the data collection is from the Fat Bear organisation which helps in
examine the gender pay scale difference between female and male employees.
Sampling data: under this research, the sample size is the employees of the Fat Bear
organisation and there around 30 employees selected as respondents in the research. Data is
selected with the frequency in the organisation. It is sample size which are included in the
research and what is the frequency is chosen.
Data analysis: the data are examined with the help of various analysis and themes which helps
in carrying out the research in the effective manners. the data which is collected from different
sources are study to find out the outcomes of the research in the most profitable manners.
Limitations: while carrying on with the investigation , there are various type of limitation
present in the organisation which reduces the work. Some of the important factors are time and
cost which are involved in the project and delay the performances of the organisation. (Syed. and
Ozbilgin, 2019)
11

Qualitative method: In respective kind of research data collected by market research method by
relying on obtaining data from the open end communication to acknowledge regarding opinion
of people in regards of equality and diversity (Podgórska and Pichlak, 2019). In reference to fat
bear to develop organisational atmosphere organisation conduct the research regarding the
significance of equality and way to measure in potential manner. in that regards by using
qualitative method can be able to gather validate kinds of outcomes potentially.
Respective tool provide way the people think and possess opinion about the specified subject
matter. By using respective tool organization can collect reviews from the large consumers with
help of observation, Questionnaire and surveys that are more realistic in nature. The major
reason behind using respective methodology that it provides depth and in detail information by
analysing ranks and acknowledging attitude, feeling and behaviour of people to gain important
kind of insights in proper manner (Qualitative Research. 2020). There are some disadvantages
also existed of respective methodology that it heavily relies on the experience of researcher and
difficult to replicate outputs.
Access: The surveyor has selected Fat Bar restaurant as the subject for this research project as
she had connection by the management staff. Having all the data from the senior administration
team it was not complex to have access by the company. Each participant was happy to take part
on this research project and they were delight with the selected topic.
Primary data: To gain desirable outcomes it is very much possible to gather required
information and knolwdge, in respective research project the data collected by using primary
source (Syed and Ozbilgin, 2019). With the help of Questionnaire in which relevant questions
should be asked by researcher from audience. On basis of questions organization reached at valid
conclusion that is very significant. In reference to respective project investigator gather data in
regards of equality and diversity and its importance for organization as well as individual to

through utilising basic tool to gather data in context of equality and diversity surveyor offer one
of best measures to preserve it. It is higher level of control over activities and provide accurate
results in context of stay aggressive in the market.
12

Sampling: Respective tool provide very much beneficial in research that provides important
factors to determine the accuracy of research that directly reflect on the results. There are lots of
techniques that helps in collection of sample that directly rely on the need and situation to remain
competitive in the marketplace. In respective project data should be collected from the large no.
of people by using questionnaire that helps in providing accurate knowledge and information. To
collect information they use sample size that is 10 in order to accumulate necessary content to
arrive at suitable kind of termination. In context of fat bear by using sampling they should
instruct to their researcher to accumulate authenticate information and knowledge in context of
stay rival in the market.
There is use of questionnaire that is based on responses from 30 respondents that is prepared to
make a detailed analysis of response of respondents.
To collect information the probability sampling method is used in respective project in which
sample should be composed from the larger population on basis of possibility theory. With the
help of random sample research should be able to collect sample from the larger population that
enhance viability of results in potential manner.
Questionnaire: It is the one of most important research tool that primarily used to collect
knowledge and information from the specified population of individuals from the specified
geographical segment (von Zedtwitz, 2020). Questionnaire also known as the series of questions
related with research that being conducted. In respective project the major reason behind using
respective tool that it helps to collect data from huge no. of candidate that enhance viability of
outputs.
Data collection: Collection of information and data plays very much important function because
it helps in gaining potential kinds of outputs. With the assistance of conducting questionnaire
respective project manager gather data from different sources. In that regards they firstly find out
major objective of collecting information and after that they frame out series of questions and
encourage people to participate in it (Williams and et.al., 2019). Organization also send it by
email, in direct manner and through messaging to involve large no. of individuals in their project
for gaining desirable outcomes.
13

Ethical issues related to project:
Ethical consideration plays very much important role as it enhance viability of project

practices such as accountability of information, privacy proved beneficial in gaining desirable
outcomes.
In that regards it is very much important for a researcher to keep in mind respective factors to
enhance viability of outputs in reference to stay aggressive in the market. It is important to
collect data that is validated and not pilfer by any one so it is rare in nature. In that regards by
providing accountability to each and every individual regarding their roles so that they can give
one of their best efforts in organizational development and enhancement in potential way.
So it is has been evaluated that researcher always put one of their best efforts in
collecting the knowledge and information that is very effective and validate in nature to remain
always competitive in nature. By selecting best tools organization can be amend their
organisational environment by provide best practices in which employees can give one of their
best efforts. Hence, providing best culture is foremost demand of organization as well as
employees.

and variety at the work places plays the very important part of successful organisation as every
20

employees of the organisation are interdependent on each other to competed the task in the most
effective manners. the religious beliefs system also have enormous contact on the performances
of the administration as employees belong to different culture and having different belief which
can impact the performances of overall company. To get the success in the target markets , the
organisation needs good employees who are willing to performances at their full capabilities so
that objectives of the organisation can be accomplished within the set time-frame and with the
effectiveness so that company can build their strong brand image in the market (Brown,, 2017).
The venture needs to have a diversification in their management team so that there are different
kinds of employees which are giving their new ideas and working at their full potentials so that
everyone is contributing in the success of the organisation. There are employees who belong to
different religious which have a direct and indirect influence on the profitability’s of the
administration in the target market places. The Fat bear organisation is full to employees who
are from the different parts of the worlds which helps them to share their point of view about the
projects and helps each other so that task can be completed as planed by the manager and leaders
in the organisation and common objectives can be achieved in the long run.
It can also be said from the above made discussions that employee satisfaction and employee
productivity are two related segments that posses a direct relationship with each other. If there is
high employee satisfaction then the employees are willing to make contribution according to
their existing full competence. For the purpose of evaluation of success and ensuring that
employees are Working in a harmonious environment there is need to icosahedron each element
of the employees based on their level of commitment and further offering them with best
treatment.
Chapter 5: conclusion and recommendation:
Conclusion:
This has been summarised from the preceding defined information that equality and
diversity plays very much important role for the organization as well as individual to give one of
their best efforts in gaining desirable outcomes. It is very important to collect necessary
knowledge and information from the various sources with the help of various tools and
methodologies to enhance viability of results in positive manner. To become successful in
regards of project need to plan each and every aspect such as cost, quality, communication, time
21

frame, deliverables of output plays very much important role in gaining potential kinds of
outputs. It is very much significant for the researcher to opt one of best methodologies and
tactics such as qualitative, quantitative and primary tools to gain direction in order to pace
towards definite path. Taking recommendations from the people plays crucial role as it needed to
improve in continuous basis to remain always competitive in the business environment. By
reflecting performance of an individual as it helps to closely evaluate own performance on
various basis helps to amend own performance in positive manner. It can also be summarized
from the above discussed research that equality & diversity are the two related concepts that is
part of every organisation that consist of a large workforce. It is a situation where there is
presence of employees who are from different backgrounds in terms of caste, culture, creed so
there is to ensure that there is complete equality so that there is no discriminatory practises that
may lead to high amount of conflicting situation in the organisation.
22

Recommendation:
There are some of the recommendations that have been drawn based on above discussed
different aspects that is in the Fat bear organisation:
 In case on instances when a employees is not able to perform well and there is need of
additional training then there must no instances where top management has to look for
replacement. Instead they can focus on providing training matures so that all the lacking
areas of the employee can be developed.
 There can be diversity training measures that can be developed to mitigate any type of
biasses as employees can then develop understand and there will be alignment of
employee values with overall laid vision & mission of the organisation.
 Top management in Fat bear has to spend a significant amount of time in crafting
equality practises among their large diverse workforce. It will lead to resolving & dealing
with all the challenges that are associated with this situation.
 When there are instances of complete equality amongst employees working at different
levels then it leads to a situation of high employee satisfaction. There is also lower
employee turnover as employees are not willing to leave the organisation. In fat bear it
will lead to higher cost advantage for employers that is going to further lead towards
higher cost effectiveness.
 Equality of opportunity is a concept that is related to ensure that each individual has a
equal chance to take the opportunities and then work according to their existing potential.
There are different types of workers in a organisation that includes black workers, older
workers, manual workers, part time workers, shift workers. So there must not be any type
of discriminatory practises on part of employers based on the type of employee.
 In fat bear diversity must be always about celebrating & valuing the different values that
people are part. It is linked with promotion of freedoms and human rights based on
respect, dignity and then recognize the values by taking into account the view point of
people who belong to diverse backgrounds, experiences, skills, knowledge and then
further using them to create a effective workforce.
 In context of fat bear organisation the top management can work towards opting for a
gender diverse workforce. Where the human resource department can work towards
solving real problems, breaking of gender discrimination barriers and then promotion of
23

equality in the organisation. Human resource managers must work towards managing &
then further promotion of gender diversity in the business to ensure high level of
commitment on part of employees so that strength of employees can benefit the whole
organisation.
Chapter 6: Reflection:
Performances review:
The success of the research in context of the Fat Bear organisation is to enhance the
performances and productivity of the Fat Bear in the present as well as in the coming few years.
The outcomes of this investigation are that equality and diversification has a enormous influence
on the profits of the establishment in long pe4riod of time. Under this reports, there is also a
evolution on the affects of the gender pay gap at work places which have impact on the
productivity of the Fat bear company as they desire to open new outlets at the international
levels. The advantage of this investigation is that to examine the impact of such factors on the
expansion and development of the establishment at the target market places.( Davis, , Frolova,
and Callahan, 2016)
During this research , it has been seen that equality and diversification has increased at the work
places which also enhances the performances of the employees and the impact of the gender pay
gap is also studied to see how much they influences the performances of the administration at
the target market places. And another point that impact of religious beliefs has also been studied
so that the performances of the organisation be improve to accomplish the aspiration results in
the most profitably manners.
Reflection:
During the study of this report , i have learned that how equality and diversification has impacted
the performance of the employees in the organisation. The equality is way to address all the
employees equality at the work places which helps them to work toward for accomplishing the
ordinary aims and goals within the prefect time so that they can build the strong image in the
global market(. Gröschl, and Bendl, ., 2015)
The success for the research is that i have successfully completed the survey on the employees of
the Fat bear organisation and seen that how equal pay scale have impacted the performances of
the employees at the work places. The diversification also played every important role in
achieving the objectives of the organisation in the effective manners.
24

The i learned that organisation needs to have a mix of employees who belong to different
background culture, having different religious and assumption as their factors helps them to
share their views on the project which helps the organisation to achieve the desire results in the
most appreciated manners. it is also important to respect the another employees beliefs system
which will increase their motivation in the organisation to perform better in the given task and
achieved them as soon as possible and in the most productivity manners. this also helps the
coordination and understanding among the team members of the organisation and accomplished
the desire results in the given time period.
I believe that there was a limitation of time period that was available for the purpose of
completion of the whole research. I believe that if there was more time available then some of
the areas could have been done in a more better way. Such as the questionnaire was prepared
with limited accessible questions. The questioner could have consist of more questions in order
to evaluate the situation of equality & diversity in a more better way.
