equality in order to evaluate and analysis the positive implication and better affects of gender
equality on performance and motivation level of employees of NHS.

research topic that is based on investigation about the positive influence of gender equality over
the performance of healthcare organisation is justifiable. Further, the current investigation also
facilitates better understanding about the strategies and approach that can be adopted by a health
care organisation to promote gender equality at workplace thus, this investigation is important
