P6: Give appropriate recommendation:
As per the investigation carried out by the researcher, have found that equality and diversity at
the work place are the essential part of successful organisation as employee are interdependent
on each other to compete the task in the most profitable and productivity manner. The religious
an background culture of the employee have a huge impact on the outcome of the task or the
performances of the employee at the work place as worker form the different culture have
different point of view for executing the activities which lead to better outcome for the
organisation in the long period. the organisation need to have the equal number of male and
female employees at the work so that they is divert personality at the organisation. the
diversification will helps the organisation to achieve their goals in effective manners as all the
employee share their different pint of view. (Pant, and Vijaya,, 2015. )

the effective outcome of the research is to improve the performances of the Fat Bear
organisation at the target market places. The results of the investigation is that equality and
diversity have great impact on the productivity of the organisation in the long period. there was
evolution on the gender pay scale difference among the male and female employee which affects
the performances of the whole over organisation. (Ross, and Ressia,, 2015.)
during this investigations, I have learned about how the equality and diversification can impact
and influenced the performance of the employees at the work. The equality refers to the treat all
the employee equal at the organization so that goals and objective can be achieved by the
company in the present as well as in the long run. I have also learned that employees from the
different background culture are able to share the various ideas which helps them to achieve the
set target in the profitable manner and efficient ways.

According to the above discussion, it can be concluded that equality and diversity are important
part of the organisation as employees are treated equally at the work place. the male and female
worker are provided with equal opportunities to perform better in their task and build their
career in the organisation. there are various tools and technique which are need to collect and
conduct the research in the most effective manners and need to plan the cost, resources,
communication and time period for the research. The investigate can use the primary and
secondary method to collect the information and draw the profitable conclusion for the
