Initiative and strategy for ensuring equality among diverse workforce
INTRODUCTION
With analysing the concept of equality and diverse in the organisation it is identified that
an organisation enable and engage individuals for accomplish of company goals and objectives.
By monitoring the impact of globalisation it is identified that an organisation improves
employee’s productivity with managing overall workforce. With analysis of diversity
management undertake aspects that are concern about increasing company acceptance to employ
individuals from different background (Al-Bayati and et. al., 2017). In context of this report,
Jaguar is considered as a British automotive organisation which headquarters is situated in the
Whitley, United Kingdom. Moreover, report highlights on strategy to ensure similar workforce
in organisation and for researcher develop specific, aim, question and objectives. Project
management plan will also formulated for completing all work in an organised manner. In the
last, adoption of different research methodologies for analysing the gathered information.
TASK 1
Project aim and objectives
Jaguar is an automotive organisation which is hold by Jaguar Land Rover Limited. In the
present scenario, it is a British multi-national motorized company which offer luxury as well as
sports utility vehicles in the market. Jaguar land rover is a subsidiary organisation of Tata Motors
(D'Netto and et. al., 2014). Moreover, organisation is well-known for managing its diverse
workforce and it leads business to complete all work with engaging better skills and capabilities
in organisation that also helps to ensure implement of strategy related with diverse workforce.
Research aim

“To determine the strategy and initiatives which are related with diverse workforce for
improving the overall productivity of organisation through providing similar opportunity to all
employees”.
Research objective
 To analyse the impact of gap such as gender, religion etc. between workforce that reduces
productivity of organisation.
 To determine strategy and initiatives which are implemented in organisation for
managing overall workforce for providing similar advantage to all employee’s.
 To identify all techniques that support organisation for implementing strategy that
manage diverse workforce.
P2 Formulation of project management plan
The term project management is the guidance of Project management body of knowledge
that is used to implement and apply different skills, techniques and tools for managing project
activities. The main aim of project management plan is to match research activities with project
requirements (Mathews, 2015). This is also used for managing aspects of project with teams and
tools in order to ensure success of project that is leading business to work with better practices
for completing all work in an organised manner.
Benefits of project management
Project management is an important aspect which is used for managing and delivering
aspect that is used in delivering better value against business opportunity. Each research is
developed to accomplish specific goals and objectives that are used in managing project for a
specific purpose. So it helps in calculating business information and utilise them for delivering
right and relevant value from research results.
Project planning phase
 Scope- The scope of the project report is too wide and it is used for assisting the
researcher that is used in making frame tactics for managing all diverse employees. It
plays an important role that aids to gain competitive advantages against rival organisation
by reducing conflicts among employees. This also refers project scope is broad because
employees are recruited in each organisation to complete business operations properly.
 Cost- In order to conduct all investigation this is identified cost plays an important role
for complete of research in an accurate manner (Meyer, Morrison and Zuniga, 2017).

This is also used for providing appropriate information for completing research in an
accurate manner through completing research in the formulated budget. For undertaking
research it is used in managing and completing all tasks with the allocated amount.
Description Cost
Market survey £ 40
Project equipment £30
Travel cost £35
Investigation and management cost £70
Total £175
 Quality- To improve overall project results, researcher is focused for implementing
quality information within the business. There are various tools and techniques used by
organisation such as primary method data collection for completing of research on a
specific topic with more quality. Moreover, investigator also focuses that all
information which is collected must be gain from authentic and relevant sources. It also
ensures that all information which is collected by is useful for implementing strategy
and initiative related with diverse workforce (Okçu, 2014).
 Time- It is the frame which is used by researcher to complete research in an
appropriate manner specifically within minimum time. The duration for the completion
of this research project is two months. In the first third week topic and aim of research
is selected and after that in further weeks information related with research activities for
analysing respondent review is used to complete research task in minimum time period.
 Communication- Formal and informal are two types of communication method that is
used by investigators for completing research with sharing important information.
Further, all relevant information is distributed among all divisions by utilising
transparent communication channel. Researcher communicates with project members
and respondents through using email, telephone and video conference.
 Risk- At the time of conducting all investigation it is identified that several risk factors
are associated that creates problems in research (Phillips and et. al., 2016). The major
risk is the raise of conflicts between workforce due to implement of new diversity

related strategy. Project management tools such as Gantt chart and WBS is used for
managing risk and completing research by analysing all risk related aspects.
 Resources- Human, machines, laptop, mobile phone and printer are some essential
resources for completion of research or project. In the context of diverse workforce
related strategy research utilise internet, laptop, finance and coordinate them with
human resources so the projects are completed with more efficiency in order to
interpret effective results and it also leads individuals for completing project with more
efficiency which generate meaningful and relevant results from research.
P3 Work-break down structure and Gantt chart
WBS- At the time of completing this research, researcher or investigator divide and
delegate the complex project into small projects. This defines the main focus of researcher is to
decompose large project into smaller components for all work is executed appropriately. Further,
with the use of WBS project management tool all project activities engage their efforts with
motive of accomplishing organisational goals and objectives (Syed, 2020). The main purpose of
WBS is to delegate small activities for completing research with more efficiency as it is easy to
understand by all employees with analysing task into small manner.
Gantt chart- The Gantt chart is formulated by the different individuals which are used for
representing the work action and activities into smaller projects. Moreover, all bars are divided
according to work needs that are performed by researcher with analysis of all task and projects in
an appropriate manner (Uygur and Aydin, 2015). This also defines all the work, action and

activities of project plan is divided into bars within given task so all project is completed
according to given time period. With formulating an effective Gantt chart it is also easy to
understand the time taken for completion of each activity.
TASK 2
P4 Small scale research for collecting the information related with project
Qualitative research- Subjective examination is an open-finished and non-numerical
examination of which answers can't be yes or no. Prospect need to offer their input about given
subject. This exploration is communicational in nature that implies scientist need to direct a little
discussion with prospect. There are a few strategies for performing subjective exploration like
Meeting, perception, submergence, open-finished overview and so on (Zaitouni and Gaber,
2017). Value of subjective exploration is that it helps in recognizing consumer\'s taste. It is an
exceptionally flexible approach. Negative mark of subjective information is that it is
exceptionally emotional in nature and not factually calculative. In setting of this examination,
scientist utilize subjective methodology as it help them to pick up top to bottom data about point
and can make better answer for recognized examination issue in an improved way.
Quantitative Research- Quantitative examination refers to the assortment of numerical
information from test universe with the end goal of measurable count. Quantitative exploration is
worried about quantifiable information like numbers and figures which are scientifically

measured. Detriment of quantitative research is in favourable position of subjective exploration
and the other way around. Strategy for executing quantitative research is to review, meet, survey,
calendar and perception. Preferred position of quantitative exploration is that it is anything but
difficult to break down. It is factually measurable (Turner and et. al., 2016). It is a non-one-sided
approach and has a wide reach. Disservices of quantitative examination are hard to make
inference through using simple approach in organisation research.
Primary research- It refers to accumulate and undertake original data with using sample
from all research activities. In the primary research all information is collected directly from the
respondents which provide data according to current situations. Moreover, all primary data
which is collected is unpublished and it is used by researcher for the first time. This also refers
data and information are collected by investigating more time which aid researcher to make
delay in completion of research.
Secondary research- All the information or data which is collected by the use of
electronic and printed activities is known as the secondary activities. Information which is
collected by researcher is not unique and already it is used several times so all sources must be
required with internal and external sources. The methods of data collection relates with
newspaper, journal and reading books (Veysel, 2014). On the other side, it is also used for
gathering information with use of online sources and also help researcher to gather data in
minimum time period.
Sample size- With analyse of sample size it is identified that by selecting individuals
from different group it is used in managing large number of respondents. Probability and non-
probability are two methods of sample size. Moreover, the sample size of investigator is 30
which are selected with probability method.
