Answer:
Scope of your job role
Within the organization, I am working on the post of Marketing Executive for which I
am responsible to fulfill certain actions in most responsible manner. I am accountable to
create awareness and develop the brand image in front of company clients along with
building positive customer relationship with them (Ali and Anwar, 2021). Thus, in order to
fulfill such requirements, I have to work closely with in house as well as external creative
agencies in order to design marketing materials which are highly helpful in advertising
products and services with the help of brochures and adverts. Thus, my job role consists of
certain goals such as recognition of audience requirements and desires while purchasing the
offered goods and services to expand business profit margins.
At least one complex issue within the scope of your job role
In my job role i.e. Marketing executive, it has been identified by me that I am facing
discrimination and biases issues from very long duration of time. I am giving my 100%
potential towards the fulfillment of my tasks which are related to marketing but my manager
always suggests their own preferred candidates names in job advertisements (Kachouie,
Mavondo and Sands, 2018). Due to this, I feel a sense of biases from very large period of
time. I also feel sometimes while asking for leaves to my manager that he always refused my
leaves while give permissions to my colleagues which makes me extremely stressed at the
workplace premises.
At least two task objectives
2. Enhance profits through sales development strategies with matching customers
desires by promoting goods and services as well as ideas.
3. Accountable to develop and supervise marketing campaigns to promote offered
services and products.

At least two risks in trying to solve the complex issue
3. Risk of facing negative environment within the workplace premises.
4. Might not get appropriate support from top management people.
At least two resources required to determine a solution for the issue
 Financial resource in order to conduct training and awareness sessions by the
company to make each and every employee aware about the serious consequences of
doing discrimination and harassment to any employee or candidate within the
organization.
 Human resource in order to provide proper training and development sessions within
the workplace premises to maintain positive environment (Balakrishnan and Dwivedi,
2021). This ultimately enables the employees to work in most effectual manner and
thus enhance their productivity level as well.
Use communication techniques to identify requirements as appropriate to the audience and
environment
With the help of conducting face to face conversations with each and every employee,
it has been easily identifiable the number of employees who are facing discrimination issues
while working within the organisation. In this manner, the issues are easily highlighted in
front of top management and thus, there is a chance of resolution arises in utmost priority
way. Although there are various techniques through which the management can take
feedbacks such as non-verbal and visual techniques but face to face technique is extremely
efficient for the employees so that they are also able to share their views without any
hesitation to their top management (Joly and et.al., 2017). And if they are facing difficulty in
do, so then they are free to communicate in written format as well such as through emails
which is a professional way to share problems.
Use listening and questioning to elicit the views and opinions of relevant stakeholders
With effective listening ability, the employees are able to identify the problems or
issues in detailed manner. In order to fulfil this concept, the management have to extremely
focus towards the words spoken by employees as their challenges are highly important to be
answered in positive manner. Usage of supportive facial expressions such as nodding, smiling
are equally important while sharing their views and information (Elford, 2017). Apart from

listening, questioning is also equally important as it helps to encourage employees to ask
questions regarding discussed topics as it enables them to resolve challenges and also helps to
stimulate thinking ability.

Communication techniques that are used to identified requirement as appropriate audience
and environment
In order to communicate with people, it has been decided that e-mail is the best
source that will be used as it help in directly providing necessary information to interested
individual. Furthermore, a meeting will be held with the stakeholder of the company in order

Answer
Reviewing the organization’s requirement for preparing solution proposal brief
It has been analysed that company’s requirement for preparing the solution include
communication policy and procedure where the employers may easily communicate the new
policies to their employees in order to minimize the problem. Under this, proper hierarchy
can be maintained which in turn assists to maintain the flow of communication. For that
manager has to maintain the flow of communication within a company which in turn assists
to increase the overall performance and minimize the chances of discrimination. However, on
the other side, with the help of continuous improvement policy and procedure workplace may
easily minimize the problem and this in turn causes positive impact over the employee’s
performance.
Therefore, it can be stated that with the help if effective documents, company is able
to minimize the problem of discrimination. This in turn cause positive impact over the
business and also provide effective solutions in order to improve the results in future.
Decision-making process to select most viable option from solution
Within a workplace, it has been identified that there are two main options available
for the company to minimize the discrimination among employees. For that, two different
solutions are presented for the company and this in turn helps to minimize the problem i.e.
discrimination. Such that with the help of changing in communication policy and procedure,
it may change the overall process. Along with this, it can be stated that proper

communication should be flow within employers and employee which in turn causes positive
impact over the business. For example, currently workplace faces issue with regard to
discrimination because employee did not get credit of their performance. So, proper hierarchy
should be maintained that helps to maintain the flow of communication.
On the other side, continuous improvement policy and procedure is another solution
presented by the company where employer may implement the changes whenever required.
This in turn helps to improve the issues up to some extent. Further, employer make small
improvement and always ask for feedback that helps to make changes over a business with an
aim to improve the results. In addition to this, policy and procedure can be changes and also
by working in a team, company may also generate the best outcomes. Therefore,
improvement in policy and practices assist the company to improve the working performance
and change the overall performance with an aim to improve the way of learning.
Advantages or disadvantages of both problems
Communication policy and procedure assist the workplace to improve the
performance and minimize the chances of discrimination because employee may consult
directly with higher authority which in turn assist to generate the best outcomes and reduce
the problem up to some level (Muthotho, Otsiulah and Sikolia, 2021). Another advantage of
using this policy is such that it will help to improve the discrimination and can also conduct
an open session where employee can reflect their views or issues if they faced any. However,
on the critically side, it has been identified that there will be no proper hierarchy maintained
between the employees and this in turn causes direct impact over the business performance.
Also, it can be stated that changing within communication policy frequently might affect the
results in opposite manner. This in turn causes adverse impact upon the employee
performance and that is why, it affected the performance.
While implementing continuous improvement policy and procedure, it can be
analyzed that this method assists to make changes within company if required and increase
the collaboration between employees by taking feedback as well as working in a team (Lau,
2021). Thus, it can be stated that this solution will be helpful to the employees in order to
improve the problem. However, in term of its negative aspect it can be stated that changing in
the business policy frequently affected the employee and their mindset because adopting new
changes before the year affected the overall performance. Thus, implementing the solution by

considering its positive as well as negative aspect should be beneficial so that it does not
cause any negative impact and lead to improve the results.
Best solution from many which can be taken by company
It has been identified that there are two options available for the company and
between both only communication policy and practices can adopt because of its advantages.
Therefore, it can be stated that with the help of effective communication policy, employee
decreases the chances of workplace issue up to some level. Also, it can be stated that
company is able to improve the results and compliance with laws and regulation assists to
create positive impact over the business performance.
Solution proposal brief
1. Problem: The workplace faces issue with regard to discrimination because majority
of the employees do not get any advantage of their work and this in turn cause direct
impact over the business performance. Hence, there is a need to implement any
change to minimize the issue.
2. Solutions: There are two solutions available to minimize the problem which include
communication policy and practice as well as continuous improvement plan and
policy. Thus, this solution assists to improve the problem and this in turn causes
positive impact over the company’s performance. These strategies have their own
impact over the business performance and also helps in attaining the organization’s
goal as well.
3. Offer best solution: Among all, it has been identified that company must follow
communication policy and procedure rather than continuous improvement (Lau,
2021). This in turn helps to improve the results and minimize the impact of problem
over the business.
4. Justification: The rationale for choosing the proposed solution over other is such that
it will help to minimize the chances of discrimination within a workplace. This in turn
assists to generate the best outcomes and create awareness among people regarding
the changes used by the firm. However, it is not possible for company while opting
another solution such that small changes does not help in improving the performance
of employee frequently.

Task 5: Present Solution Proposal Brief
ASSESSMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Answer:
Review of Feedback register developed in Workplace Project Task 2
It can be review from the feedback register developed in workplaces project task 2
that it has helped in understand that the what all feedback has been provided by the two
stakeholder such as human resource manager and manager of the company. As per their
respective point of view, Hr manager need that actually company need to make and
implement more strict policies and procedures related to promote ethical workplaces practice
and enhance their overall performance (Nomadolo, 2017). At the same time, they want to add
more policies in the firm related to employees protection from discrimination so that they are
always motivated to work for growth and expansion of firm. While, it has been review from
the feedback register of workplace project task that manager has stated that continuous
monitoring, review the performance, taking feedback from employee's will contribute in
understanding key issue that are face by employee's while working in the firm. So, overall
feedback register has helped in understanding the issue face by company and the way it can
be overcome for better outcome.
Review of Solution proposal brief developed in Workplace Project Task 4
The solution proposal that has been developed pertaining to overcoming the
workplaces issue related to discrimination is that providing regular instruction and training
session to employee's about the way discrimination can be avoided in the firm. Then it has
been decided to that over performance of the employees will be review by the manager to
understand whether all individual are given equal work or there has been discrimination
between them on any of the basis or area (Zanin, 2018). Furthermore, the another solution
that has been presented in the final proposal is that a prior notice will be given to individual
that is committing discrimination within the firm. So, that it can avoid the same to eradicate
the unethical practices that has been followed within the organisation. Thereby, all these
alternative solution option of overcoming the workplaces issue face by company will lead in
motivating each individual to work hard for growth and expansion of firm.
There are range of resource that will be required to implement the solution proposal
such as will need digital technology such as computer and other device to prepare a plan or
procedure, policies that need to be added in the firm. So, that the discrimination can be
avoided in the firm to maximum extend. Moreover, it can be stated that financial resources
will be required to meet all the expense that are associated in implementing and bringing

changes for a better working environment. Thereby, through having sufficient resources such
as finance and digital technology all the new policies and procedures can be implemented in
the firm and discrimination can be totally eliminated for fruitful outcome (Maulik, 2017).
Such as more employee's satisfaction and retention in the company will yield in building
strong brand image of firm in mind and heart of customers.

Answer: Reviewing the feedback and changes that can identify solution
According to the solution which has been identified as per the issues, there are certain
corrective measures and changes undertaken by the managers.
1. Providing regular instructions and training sessions to the employees at workplace is
identified as the fruitful solution to overcome from discrimination. The issue of
discrimination can not overcome just by taking training the employee's manager need
to inspect the activities performed by each employee in the organization.
2. Follow up on employee's performance on regular basis is important to avoid the
discrimination but there are some other tasks such as to check the complaints and
request to know the problem.
3. On of the identified solution of discrimination is giving notice this is not the
appropriate solution to deal with the discrimination issue instead of this law related to
anti discrimination should be undertaken.
4. Remain more aware of termination is one solution in this manager also make sure
about the individual feeling of individual within its workplace and treat all employees
equal.
Refining of solution according to feedback
1. Organising effective training and inspecting the activities of employees and appraise
them accordingly to create a positive environment (Patten, 2018). When the
employees are promoted by looking to their individual performance then other

employees are also tried to perform better.
2. The complaints and request of employees should be checked more properly and
taking the required action to overcome from that problem. These practises should be
included in the process to overcome the discrimination within company.
3. Managers in the organization must perform all its activities by looking at the anti-
discrimination laws which are developed by government for companies. With these
laws employees and leaders are aware about their activities and also try to avoid
discrimination at all levels.
4. The manager should take one on one communication with employees in equal
intervals so that employee can communicate their individual problem to managers.
This will helpful to management to know about any discriminatory practise within the
organization.
Submission of refined solution
In this process the solution which are being refined are sent to the manager and
human resource management to give approval. Further the solutions are inspected by
managers and HR members and approval are given by them (Csesznek, 2018). When the
solution get approved from the stakeholders then the board members uses to take step to
further implement them. The employees and leaders are communicated all the solution to
overcome from any kind of discrimination within the company. Moreover, the employees and
leaders uses to implement and work accordingly at workplaces and when they find any
discrimination then they take step accordingly. The manager uses to train the employees with
the new solution which are being identified and try their best to avoid discrimination.
