To evaluate gender discrimination in Tesco that impact on employee performance and morale in the
organisation
According to the view point of Mackrell Turner Garrett, 2016, Tesco is facing the issue of age and gender
discrimination from a long time that has created many negative implications and financial claims on it.
Gender discrimination is associated with high level of partiality and favouritism on the basis of sex and
gender of an individual that hamper the overall performance and efficiency level of employees of Tesco
(Berrey, Nelson and Nielsen, 2017).
To analyse gender discrimination based on male and female and employee pay gap based on gender of
employees.
As per the opinion of Lisa Martin, 2019, the level of gender discrimination and employees pay gap is
increasing with a rapid seed. The gender pay gap basically measures the difference between the average
weekly full-time base salary earnings of both genders, expressed as a percentage of men’s earnings. Thus, It
is a measure of women’s overall position in the paid workforce and does not compare like roles. Therefore,
provide more clear and better information about the discrimination based in male and female within an
organisation (Colella and King, 2018).
To identify how action taken by management of Tesco against Gender discrimination to facilitate equality at
workplace
According to the view point of Jonathan A. Segal, 2015, there are various action taken by management of
Tesco against gender discrimination that includes strict action like demotion and penalties to reduce cases of
discrimination. Further, timely training and education is provide to senior leaders and managers to provide
better guidance and direction to employees to facilitate an atmosphere of equality. Beside this, Unbiased HR
practises and effective communication are also adopted by Tesco to promote equality at its workplace (Kalev,
2019).
