Background of the studyDiversity can be defined as understanding and accepting different individuals in terms ofgender, age, class, physical ability etc. It is categorized as primary and secondary dimensions.Primary dimensions are based on age, sex, race etc. while secondary dimensions include religion,education, income etc. Several organisations like TESCO, Asda adopt diversity in theirworkplace to become more open and creative in the world (Barak, 2016). Due to change in therecognition of different organisation, diversity in workplace is becoming one of the major issuefor all the companies to consider it more seriously. The study is based on managing diversity inthe workplace. The need of placing diversity in the organisation in UK was first seen in 1960sand 1970s.

Further, human resource manager of TESCO has played an important role in makingeffective environment and in the company. It looks after policies related to the employees as wellas organisation. The study has focused on removing racism and discrimination among theemployees (De Anca and Vega, 2016). Diversity management has forced the companies toconsider this concept so that they can establish well developed system in their workplace andmanage their employees effectively.Purpose of the studyMain purpose of this study is to increase the productivity of TESCO by promotingeffective management of diversity in the workplace.

Further, TESCO hasalso faced the problem in coordinating the work of their employees because they are fromdifferent background and do not understand effective methods to handle their customers. Thishas created uncertainty and divergence in the company. This is because managers are not skilledenough to control diversity in the organisation. The organisation is also facing the problem incoordinating activities of people which belongs to different locations and culture. Another great challenge that TESCO has faced is management of diversity in reducingdiscriminatory barriers and praising them on larger level like reward system or job satisfaction(Guillaume and et.al., 2014).
