Business Project: Planning for Gender Equality and Diversity at Work

This project plan addresses the critical issue of gender equality and diversity within the workplace. It begins by outlining project objectives, which include defining the project scope, listing project activities, creating a Gantt chart, and conducting both primary and secondary research. The project scope focuses on eliminating gender discrimination and harassment. The project activities include assessing the current state of the organization, developing a diversity strategy, and gathering information through employee feedback and surveys. The plan details the major project phases, including initiation, planning and execution, and project closure. The project closure phase includes implementing strategic recommendations, providing training, and monitoring the business environment. The plan incorporates a work breakdown structure, and concludes with a list of references. This project aims to foster an inclusive environment that values all genders.
