disadvantaged youth to apply for job in an organisation. It is the duty of management team in an
enterprise to ensure that existing employees or workers are genuinely open to employing new
candidates who belong to minority group.
As per the report of international labour organisation there are approx.599 million people
who are disabled. Many charitable organisations are working to give these individuals a better
chance at finding and maintaining sufficient employment. There are some disadvantage
associated with providing opportunities to disabled people. People perceptions about the disabled
population, often keep qualified workers out of a job or comfortable working environment can
create various barriers in providing equal opportunities to people belonging to minority
background. The evaluations of UNICEF contribution in providing equal opportunity to
employees to perform specific task or activity at workplace. The objective of UNICEF behind

Analysis 1 Building emotional intelligence
Emotional intelligence is defined as the capability of an individual to manage their own
emotions. It also involves skills that are required for providing appropriate response to emotion
of other people. Management team in an enterprise is required to understand that people those
who struggle perpetually for surviving and for fulfilling the basic need l often lack the social
and emotional skills (He, Wang and Hou,2018) It has been analysed that quality of emotionally
intelligent leader is that they have the understanding about the implications of emotion and these
leaders have potential to recognise the internal skills or abilities of an individual. It is required by
manager or leader to develop emotional skills as this will help them in identifying the problems
faced by their subordinates. It will also enable manager or leader to provide appropriate solution
to the several issues faced by their co workers. Emotional skills will assist manager or leaders in
developing as well as maintaining strong relationship with subordinates. There are main five
components of emotional intelligence these are Self awareness, Self regulation, motivation and
empathy. Self awareness indicates that leaders have understanding about their actions as well as
they are the impact of particular decision or activity on other people at workplace. Self
awareness is very important in terms of designing or making arrangement for disable people. It
is very mush essential for leaders to manage their own emotions as this factors have direct as
well as significant influence of emotion. Rapid emotional decision can have some harmful
consequences as well. In context of organisation, emotional decision taken by the leaders in
order to support minority people may lead to the injustice with qualified, skilled and talented
worker (Robertson, 2017)
Quality of effective leader is that they have high influencing power , utilising which they
can motivate other people to develop skills or develop learning attitude. It is required by manager
or leader to earns the loyalty and respect people those who belong to minority group or those
2

people with disability. Leaders should understand the difference between intention and impact.
In context of the case scenario, it is required by management team in a charitable institution to
provide disable or minority candidates education about the value and impact of emotional
intelligence at the workplace. Role of existing employees is to support leader conduct
emotionally intelligent interactions. Management team in an enterprise , should provide self-
assessment of emotional intelligence for all workers within an organisation. It is required by
manager in a firm to adopt strategies or plans for improving emotional intelligence (Maynard,
and Stuart, 2017)
Analysis 2 :Building self- management skills
Management team in UNICEF who has taken high initiatives to provide training
disabling or people belonging to minority group to develop policies as well as practices. As this
strategy will help managers in ensuring that ensure people with disabilities have access to the
training programme. Transition planning is considered to be a significant field which has been
identified in order to help adult people or youth with disabilities in developing several skills or
core competencies as well as positive attitude. It has been analysed that rehabilitation
counsellors have the experience as well as knowledge about the methods that can be used for
providing appropriate training to disable people. Self management training can supports to
reduce their weaknesses and effect of the same on their personal or professional growth. Self
management is considered to be an effective model which is based on the belief that transition
procedures require effective coordination among the counsellors , family member of disable
people, and candidate. Method which can be adopted for training to people is behaviour therapy
which will help disable person in developing the abilities as well as positive behaviour (Zakaria,
Karim and Jeganathan, 2017)
Analysis 3; Building energy management skills
Energy management skills are essential for people in an organization. Energy
management skills are many ways that disabilities can affect the ability to perform effectively on
the job. Levels of disability and ability are unique to Person. Management team or counsellors
need to provide such people with appropriate resources as well as technology in order to support
disable people in performing the activities within an organisation. This strategy will also help an
organisation in providing equal opportunities to all workers in terms of performing task at
workplace. BY developing the technical, disable people can increase their working efficiency. It
3

is required by management team in an enterprise to provide technical training to people with
disability, as this will help those people in improving their performance at workplace (Nguyen,
2018)
Analysis 4 : Building self esteem and confidence
Counsellor can helps disable people in developing self confidence by motivating them to
make their own decisions and positively influencing them to participate in various activities. It
has been analysed that self-esteem is influenced by several factors. Family , friends and
counsellors supports is very much important for an individual with disability to develop the
feeling of self- esteem and increase their confidence level. Medication is the activity that is
required to be conducted by an individual with disability. It is required by the counsellor to help
disable people in recognising their own abilities , strength and core competencies. Unrealistic
comparisons should be avoided at workplace as this factors can lead to demotivation in people.
Counsellors are required to appreciate an individual for completing the task, as this activity will
help them in developing confidence and self esteem. This strategy will also encourage disable
people to taker responsibility of completing other work as well (Stepanova, Shmeleva and Savin,
2018)
