Literature review
Theme 1: impact of “Equality and Diversity” on workplace discrimination
As per the view of (Foster, 2019) Equality and Diversity can reduce workplace
discrimination, it ensures that every individual working in organization is being provided with
same and equal opportunities. This can help in increasing productivity and achieving goals and
objectives. If organization is actively involved in promoting equality and diversity, then this can
thrive people to perform better and will also boost morale of employees who are working in firm.
If firm is not engaged in treating everyone fairly then this will increase frustration level of
employees, they will tend to leave. This will reduce organizational efficiency and will also
hamper goodwill of firm. Diversity will help employees in having idea about how to work in
different diverse cultural environment. This can assist organization in increasing their
profitability as well as increase their revenue aspects too(Stein, Hannah and Zimmerman, 2019).
Theme 2: identify roles of leaders and managers in reducing workplace discrimination
In the opinion of (Palacios, 2016) leaders and managers haver most significant role in
reducing the impact of workplace discrimination. They need to implement various laws, rules
and regulations and policies like equal pay will be given to all employees who are working at
same position. This will help organization in enhancing relationship and bond between
employees. It will also boost employee’s morale because of which they will be able to achieve
goals and objectives. Leaders and managers must make sure that no workplace discrimination
exist in firm because of which employees become aggressive and they tend to leave organization.
Leaders and managers when recruiting diverse individuals can increase productivity and improve
creative aspects of firm. This will also increase revenue and profits. Discrimination can severely
impact recruitment and hiring procedure, like firm can engage in recruiting less qualified
employees because of biasness, this will reduce productivity of organization. So leaders and
managers needs to be known that workplace discrimination can severely impact brand reputation
of firm. It can reduce job performance of employees.
Theme 3: Investigation of the ways that aids to overcome workplace discrimination and
creates supportive working environment
In the opinion of (Klein, 2016) there are various ways that can be adopted by organization to
implement strategies that remove work place discrimination. Like for example equal and

adequate resources needs to be given to all individuals who are working in firm. They can also
engage in analyzing needs and demands of workers and try to solve their problems without any
biasness. This will assist workers in creating employee engagement and build up loyalty of
workers(Sarvaiya and Eweje, 2016). Leaders and managers can also put various strategies like
providing same opportunity as males to female employees, this will assist them in developing
more women leaders. It will also assist them in becoming best employer of women. They must
make sure that no harassment in organization has been done to women. This will help them in
increasing trust and boost morale of employees. This will also support organization in achieving
goals and objectives with more efficiency.
