genders. This reason should be regarded as void. Also, the gender equality aims to recruit
employees and initiate the act of gender equality at the workplace (Barak, 2016).

thoughts, etc. of any person present at workplace.

 The Gender Equality Policy should be applied in the case of Sarah and Kelly under which
the management should ask Sarah to work with Kelly as her gender is no valid reason to
deny working with her.
 With the help of cultural diversity policy, the organization should make sure that they do
not harm the interest of any employee of the company. They should entertain vegan as
well as non-vegan employees in an office event (Guillaume, et. al., 2017).
 The Disability Indiscrimination Policy should apply in the organization in such a way
that the management should consider the interest of the disabled employees of the
company while initiating any activities at workplace.
 The harassment policy should be applied in the case where a female complained that a
European co-worker harassed by giving inappropriate comment to her and approaching
her again and again even after her denial. In this case, the organization should use this
policy to resolve the conflict and state that the statement of the co-worker was said to
actually harass her or it was just a complement (Greene, & Kirton, 2015).
Question 3
The ways with which the company would ensure that diversity policy is understood and
implemented by the all people are discussed below:
 Communication: communication is the best way to ensure that the diversity policy is
understood and effectively implemented by all the parties related to the activities of the
organization. Communication refers to the process exchanging information with each
other and suggesting their views and opinions as well. It is important for the organization
to communicative with each other so as to let the other know about their issues and
problems in an organization. There are two types of communication in an organization
that are informal as well as formal communication. The management should initiate
meetings and discussions with the employees of the company who are implementing the
diversity policy, they should formally ask for their opinion related to this policy of
diversity (Rice, & White, 2015).
 Compliance: The management should ensure that the employees comply with the
implemented policies of the company. They should further monitor and evaluate the
activities of the company to ensure the implementation of the policy.
