Reflection
During to research I have learnt many things and face several problems
that enhance my skills as well as knowledge. I got the information of
the employability law which is necessary to apply by the every
organisation at the work place to satisfy their employees. These laws
impact in positive and negative manner. Through the research my
presentation skills improve due to collect different types of information
regarding to equality and diversity after that present in front of top
management. I have presented data to senior management and got
opportunity to understand their reviews and opinion.

Conclusion
As per the above discussion it has been concluded that diversity and
equality both laws important for any organisation and plays important
role to get competitive advantages. If all the workers work together so
company easily achieve their objectives and fulfil the requirement of top
management. In the research set aim, objectives after that prepare project
management plan where define all the aspects that related to research. To
collect data apply qualitative and quantitative research that provides
accurate and relevant data on time.
