RESEARCH PROPOSAL (TASK 1)
INRTRODCUTION
The proposal will be analysing various aspects of methods, objectives on which
research will be further focusing for bringing on detailed growth goals and various domains
on which projects research will be based on.
AIM: To analyse impact of equality and diversity within workforce and how it enables
business for effective growth on various grounds. A study on NHS
Objectives
 To identify the concept of equality and diversity among employees
 To evaluate methods for enhancing equality and diversity on varied grounds
 To analyse various challenges which companies face for effective implementation
 To recommend new strategies for enhancing equality and diversity
Rationale
The research topic equality and diversity has been taken as essential topic for research
file as it has been identified as one of the widely growing essential aspect where HR is
heading and also productively focusing to strengthen workforce diversity. HR among global
focusing on enhancing equality and diversity among employees, for larger new advanced
business avenues and stronger goal evolvement which also creatively enriches goal
strengthening.
Literature review
As per the views of Ali, Leal-Rodríguez, and Albort-Morant, 2019), equality and
diversity has been evolved as one of the most evolving scenario where HR are competitively
moving ahead for gaining functional knowledge within varied quest goals for stronger
innovative, talented employees workforce. Equality an diversity among employees
workforce ideally enhances functional domains widely, yields competitive focus on stronger
technical diversity aspects and also for larger new profound synergy within quest goals
imperatively. Author has analysed that companies HR department specifically focuses on

enlarged strengthened work force avenues where employees from various aspects are given
platforms to showcase their ideas. This widely gives positive push to economic work growth
diversity within employees and also to potentially generate new quest goals widely on
various grounds. It can be analysed that equality and diversity brings on motivation among
employees for bringing on best innovative ideas widely, develop cultural diversity and also
enable business competencies within company to raise informative growth efficacy
profoundly.
As per the views of Afsar, Al-Ghazali, and Javed (2020), the methods for enhancing equality
and diversity among employees within companies can be discussed based on varied new
domains of ethical working grounds, informative functional pace and also to raise evolving
synergy of determinants. Companies shall further focus on innovative HR employee’s
recruitments and selection strategies for gaining commitment from employees based on
functional avenues further, to evolve on new domains within creative efficacy goals
profoundly. There shall be development of new ideas creative efficacy by bringing on
brainstorming session and group discussions profoundly and also to yield on innovative work
culture scenarios for competitive excellence. The author has identified that HR needs to
widely primitively focus on talent management within employees for stable functional
growth determinants and be idealistically focused on bringing new scale diversity among
employees profoundly.
As noted by Azevedo and Shane (2019), there are various challenges which reduce
functional efficacy and stronger informative implementation of HR avenues functional
strengths within equality and diversity aspects. There is increase in functional domains of
investments strategically where companies have to form specific work goal diversity strategy
further and also potential risk of diversification is there. It can be also analysed that equality
and diversity among employees also increases the financial risk for larger HR services, where
innovation and up scaled work targets needs to be framed among business avenues.
Research methodology
Research type: Quantitative research is done in numerical format and large use of graphs and
figures are used, which at time are difficult to understand. Qualitative research is theoretical
in format with in depth analysis of various data which are analysed easily by. For this

researcher qualitative type of research will be used for gaining correct details, informative
knowledge and functional targets widely for commercial growth operations widely.
Research philosophy: The interpretivism integrates elements of study within research which
are qualitative in format functionally and also include human interests variably and also
brings on keen data forward. While on other hand the positivism is another philosophy which
is quantitative and delivered form experiences which vary from person to person formatively.
The research will be using interpretivsim for this topic to keep all details for analysis in
qualitative format to get appropriate results widely
Research approach: The research approaches are inductive and deductive, where inductive
research approach helps us to evaluate qualitative data format and deductive removes
irrelevant data. For this research inductive research approach will be used for developing
effective record of data, generating varied horizons for higher informative information
towards varied functional scale targets.
Sampling: There is purposive sampling and non purposive sampling which are varied in
their functional details, where purposive sampling can be understood as a form of non
probability sampling in which researchers rely widely based on judgements. The non
purposive sampling on other hand, efficacy of information is based on odd number of
members, which are selected for sample among group of people, where it enables procedural
efficiency. For this sampling will be done in 30 numbers of employees within NHS
management scenarios, where it will enable to gain knowledge on fundamentals among
employees diversity and equality (Alexandra, Ehrhart and Randel, 2020 ).
Data collection: Primary data collection is highly reliable and gained from direct sources
widely, and secondary data on other hand is gained from websites and internet and also from
magazines. For this research well be using primary data collection method, which is highly
reliable and relative for data collection.
Ethical considerations
The research will be done keeping in mind various aspects of unbias working
parameter where employee will be signing consent forms and also there will be focus on
using reliable data and devoid of plagiarism.
Validity and reliability

The validity and reliability of data will be widely kept on focus for keeping up data
records under focus, also the new strength of reliable data will enable research to be done
informatively on larger domains variably (Caputo, Amoo. and Menke, 2019).
CONCLUSION
The research has concluded various aspects of work methods and also aspects of
various domains which will be used for further research widely, and proposal has also
concluded imperative knowledge on larger arenas.

TASK 2 (RESEARCH REPORT)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The research has been done variedly based on primary and secondary data research
based on varied functional scale targets, to analyse equality and diversity among workforce.
The data analysed in research report are based on work goals variedly focusing to generate
new scale imperative functional work growth efficacy and connects wider scaled targets
actively to generate stronger evolving synergies into longer time run. It can be also analysed
that NHS as one of the best evolving organization into building new HR strategies have
diverse scope, for committed motivated workforce. (Wynn,2020).
Research Methodology
Research type: Qualitative type can be understood as the aspects of research where data is
understood to be considered as opinions and experiences where in depth insights and ideas of
research are analysed in theoretical format. It brings forwards focus on analysis in easy which
is also practically easy for understanding for people in diverse format. The quantitative
format of research can be understood as aspect where data is brought forward in numericals
format and figurative aspects which are also typical to understand as compared to qualitative
data. The research will be using qualitative data for analysing work aspects related to equality
and diversity phenomenons to obtain new working avenues (Klarsfeld and et.al., 2016).
Research approach: Inductive approach starts with observations and theories that are
proposed in research process as result of observation where patterns and reguarities of data is
monitored for reaching larger aspects of informative conclusions. Deductive approach is
numerical in format where process of reasoning from one or more statement to reach logical
conclusion, is focused on using reasoning which goes in detailed analysis aspects which also
complicated the procedures. For the research inductive approach will be used.
Research philosophy: Intrepretisvism research philosophy is based on principles which states
that researcher performs specific scale work horizons pertaining to interests in specific scale
observance of data. The positivism research is based on aspects where positivism believes
that research is based on independent aspects where theories, backgrounds and knowledge
values of researcher is observed. For this research interpretive research philosophy will be
used.

Data collection: Primary data collection can be understood as widely reliable data where
results are directly obtained from employees within company where research is focused on,
secondary data on other hand is less reliable as results are not attained from direct sources.
This research will be focusing on primary data collection method to bring accurate results
forward into usage, which will also enable data to hold accuracy (Kumar, 2019).
Sampling: Probability sampling is defined as sampling technique where researches choose
samples from larger scale population scenarios, using method based on theory of probability.
Non probability can be understood as sampling method in which not all members of
population have equal chance to be selected. The employees will be chosen randomly out of
30 number as the total figure taken as sample size.
Ethical considerations: The information used within report will be focused on data which is
unbiased and also focus is build on using reliable and transparent data where information
attained will be focused on getting reliable work informations. This will be also focusing on
aspects that there will be stronger vision oriented targets for which ethical work performance
will be focused on.
Cost:
Reliability and relevance: The data analysed within report will be reliable and relevant in
accordance with the latest sources and findings will be also in depth focusing to operate
wider focus on generating effective work details. Reliability and relevance of work details
will be taken care of by using best sources of informations and also new quest leveraged
aspects have varied scope for keeping up with efficiency goals (Ledford and Gast, 2018).
TASK 3
Literature review
As per the views of Greene (2019), equality and diversity within workforce is one of
the main aspect evolving within HR fundamentals at workforce to generate new range of
scaled reach and enhanced new scale evolving scenarios for effective connective work
horizons. The author explains in research papers that by generating equality and diversity
among employees, there is varied fundamental growth within structural domains towards
new vision oriented goals. It can be also analysed that equality and diversity among
workforce generates new enhanced new determinant scope for longer turnover horizons, to
generate effective scale performance goals. Strategies by HR departments to enhance

equality and diversity within workplace are based on bridging the pay gap, generating
communication and work life balance training among employees which fosters right culture
for imperative new scale evolving scenarios. The research papers by author also explains
focus on generating fostering enhanced larger vision oriented growth towards new targets,
goodwill domains and to yield on fundamental focus towards new goals of motivated
workforce.
