DIVERSITY POLICY

INTRODUCTION
• Diversity has become and crucial factor for organisations
to implement as it brings out their real potential.
• Diversity helps in bringing out more productivity form the
employees as new idea are generated.
• The organisation is recognised as respectful for adopting
diversity in the workplace.
• The organisation has developed a diversity policy and an
action plan has been set (Hunt et. A. 2015).
• AUS accounting has come up with a new diversity policy
for future growth.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY
• Innovation is one of the main benefits that can be achieved by
using cultural diversity (Lambert, J., 2016).
• The company has been experience a rise in their diversity
policy which. This is seen in the graph below.
• This was done by the recruitment department of the
organisation.

AGE DIVERSITY
• This diversity will show how much of people from
different ages are working at the organisation.
• This needs to be balanced as new skill and old
knowledge of employees can be beneficial.
• From this graph it can be understood that the
organisation does not need that much people below
the age of 25 and above 55.
• The job profiles are highly looking for people
between 25-40 people.

GENDER DIVERSITY
• There needs to be gender diversity present to that the
organisation can be balanced.
• This adds more value to the organisation as different
ideas and viewpoints can be added.
• It can be seen in the organisation that the rise of
women in managerial roles has started to increase
over the five years.
• But the gender balance has deceased from which it
can be interpreted that the male presence has
decreased.

CONCLUSION
• From this it can be seen that the new diversity policy
will focus on balancing the gender in the organisation.
• The age would also have to be changed and more
younger workforce would have to be bought in.
• The cultural diversity is increasing but at a slow pace so
the human resource department would have take this into
consideration and make sure that the all cultural people
are taken.
• The main motive of the policy would be to see that there
is no discrimination regarding any type of diversity in
the organisation.
