Positive treatment helps to improve the equal opportunity policy
According to the view point of Shelley Frost, (2020), a positive culture and treatment at
workplace facilitates improvement in equal opportunity policy of an organisation through
encouraging collaboration and meeting expecting quality life of all individuals. A positive
treatment at workplace of Tesco has made its workers more likely to feel a connection with
organisation and perform their work in a more effective way to complete a project that brings
dedication to promote and ensure equality at workplace. The equal opportunity policy is a base
of every organisation that facilitates a healthy and productive workplace where everyone feel
supported and valued for their work (AUGUSTUS, 2019). Fair treatment and treating everyone
with respect and providing a positive treatment is necessary to have an equal opportunity policy
in the organisation. An equal opportunity policy of Tesco includes providing fair chances and
same opportunities for hiring, advancement and benefits to everyone without any kind of
discrimination that can only be possible through having a positive treatment at workplace.
Further, according to the view point of Kundu, Bansal and Pruthi, 2019, it has been also
analysed that without having a positive treatment at workplace, proper execution and adoption of
equal opportunity policy is not possible as fair treatment is the first pillar and base of equality

policy. Therefore, it can be evaluated that Positive treatment helps to improve the equal
opportunity policy of Tesco through building and leading a culture of fairness at the workplace
and within the overall organisation.
To examine the impact of equality on the workplace diversity of Tesco
As per the view point of Zach Lazzari, (2019), equality at workplace is mainly associated
with providing a business culture where no person or individuals experience a fear of
discrimination on basis of their gender, age, sex, race, etc. Thus, equality is directly related with
providing equal and fair job opportunity for all individuals through having an unbiased HR
practises and fair recruitment and selection process. Therefore, it can be evaluated that equality
at workplace of Tesco lead to a positive impact on the diversity level in the organisation through
yielding a same and equal chance of job and employment to all individuals who are coming from
diversified culture, background, etc (Hughes, 2019). The main reason behind promoting equality
and diversity at workplace of Tesco is related with the important role played by these concepts in
the success and effective growth of an organisation. Maintaining equality at workplace facilitates
better motivation in employees through a fair treatment and also yield equal growth opportunities
that enhance their performance. Beside this, equality in HR practises also facilitates diversity at
workplace and maintain an inclusive workforce that lead to more competitive strength and also
enhance creativity level of organisation.
Further, as per the opinion of Palumbo and Manna, 2019, a business can not grow and
prosper if all individuals have same thinking and interest thus, to have some creative and
innovative ides to grow and prosper a significant level of diversity is necessary that can only be
promoted through equality and fair treatment. The policy of equality in Tesco attracts a larger
number of workers from diversified culture, background and also from all age groups, gender,
sex, religion, etc. thus helpful in maintaining a significant level of diversity at workplace. Beside
this, equality also ensure a more inclusive workforce that is dedicated and committed towards
their work, therefore lead to enhancement in their efficiency and promote success of
organisation. Thus, it can be evaluated that the equality and fair HR practises and strategies lead
to a positive impact on workplace diversity of Tesco through providing fair job opportunity to all
individuals.
