Literature review
Concept of equality & diversity at workplace
According to Dr. Kelly S. Meier (2019) equality as well as diversity at the workplace
plays very essential role as it provide fair and equal opportunities to the staff members without
any kind of discriminations. However, it has been analysed that diversity define as the concept
which encompasses religion, age, colour, gender, race and any other traits. On the other hand,

with the assistance of equality staff members will get equal number of opportunities and fair
treatment at the workplace. This will assist in enhancing the overall performance of the company
and gain competitive advantages at the marketplace. Apart from this, it has also been identified
that with the assistance of diversity within workplace human rights as well as opportunities will
be advanced which as a result leads to their overall development in both personal and
professional level. However, execution of equality & diversity practices within workplace,
managers will be able to enhance their overall performance at the marketplace (Cottrill and et.
al., 2014). Along with this, they will effectively cope up with issues arise within the company
which is related with labour turnover, disputes, confusion and so on. With the help of
implementing such aspects effectively, managers will be able to provide positive working
environment within the company which leads to produce high quality products and services.
Different strategies which will assist in implementing equality & diversity at workplace
In the views of Diane Lynn, (2019), it is said that there are various strategies which need
to be adopted by the management team of each and every organisation in order to promote
equality and diversity at the workplace. It is very essential for the person who have influencing
power that every employee should be treated fairly and equally within the company so that goals
will be accomplished effectively and within stipulated time frame. Some of the most effective
strategies includes treating every individual equally, provide training sessions to staff members
so that they can adopt such practices in an effective manner. All these strategies assist the
management team in order to perform their task in an effective manner. For this, it is very
necessary to have positive working environment so that they can accomplish their pre define
goals and objectives within stipulated time frame (Ewoh, 2013).
Benefits of equality & diversity for WFC Contractors
As per the thought of Louise Petty, (2019), equality & diversity within the workplace
plays very essential role as it assist the company in order to grow effectively at the competitive
market. It has been analysed that there are ample number of benefits which is gain by
management team of an organisation. It has been analysed that equality & diversity within the
workplace helps in employing more and more candidates in the company. These staff members
assist in accomplishing organisational goals of the business entity within stipulated time frame.
Major purpose implementing equality & diversity within the organisation helps in providing
similar number of opportunities as well as equal & fair treatment to every single person working

at the workplace. In the present context of WFC Contractors , managers ensure that each and
every staff member should be treated equally & provide them fair treatment (Galpin, 2014).
Main benefits which is gain by the company is that they can retain their best and potential
employees for a long period of time. Along with this, they can attract large number of candidates
towards their organisation. Furthermore, another benefit which is gain by the organisation is that
they will be able to create positive working environment to their employees which leads to
enhance the profitability and performance of the company.
Current WFC Contractor's staff diversity-related strategies in Romania
As mentioned by Hewins-Maroney and Williams, (2013), it is mandatory for every single
business organisation to develop diversity related strategies while expanding business at
international level. In the same way, if it is talked about WFC Contractors then this organisation
is also having diversity related strategies that they developed for United Kingdom only and, they
have applied the same in Romania as well. This impacted negatively upon overall performance
level of employees as, perceptions carried by Romanian staff is different from employees that are
working in United Kingdom.
Future WFC Contractor's staff diversity-related strategies in Romania in 2020
According to Hebl and Avery, (2012), Romania is a place where religious and cultural
diversity is basically being faced by organisations, due to dynamic nature and perception of
people, which gets changes quickly. In present context, use of legislation by the WFC
Contractors has considered the state to tackle societal inequities and complexities. In the same
way, WFC Contractors will also be developing the diversity-related strategies while expanding
business in Romania or while working in this country in the year of 2020. Basically, HR
Department of WFC will focus on all the cultural, technological advancements and amendments
among legislations while developing the diversity-related strategies in Romania in 2020.
P2 Project Management Plan
Project management plan is define as a confidential written document which is also
known as the blueprint which assist the organisation in order to conduct the research in an
effective manner. It includes various plans, policies and strategies which assist in performing
overall function in an effective manner (Glatthorn and et. al., 2018). In this context some of the
major elements are as follows:

 Cost: It define as the total amount of money which is used by an organisation in
order to develop or create new products or services. In context of present research, it
has been identified that investigator requires specific amount of money so that they
can effectively conduct the research and produce appropriate result. used for
developing any product or service or any activity. Apart from this, there are three
main techniques used for controlling the cost. These techniques includes Cost
breakdown structure, budgeting and cash fellow statement. In context of the present
research, total amount of cost required by researcher is £90.00 so that they can
execute the whole research effectively (Hewins-Maroney and Williams, 2013.).
◦ Budgeting : This is particularly said to be a process that could help researcher in
creating a plan to spend the available monitory for a particular project. Creating this
spending plan allows researcher to determine in advance whether he or she will have
enough money to do the things researcher needs to do or would like to do.
Budget of Current Project Plan
Identify and developing the topic £20.00
Do a preliminary search for information £10.00
Locate materials online £5.00
Make notes £5.00
Clarify the Problem £10.00
Review the Literature £12.00
Develop the Instrumentation Plan £18.00
Collect Data. £10.00
Total £90.00
◦ Cash flow statement : This is said to be a financial statement that effectively shows
how changes in balance sheet accounts and income affect cash and cash equivalents,
and breaks the analysis down to operating, investing, and financing activities.

◦ Cost breakdown structure : This is an approach of breaking the elements down,
where it is used to continuously compare the actual costs with the budget, and
integrate to the cost control system. Scope: Another essential factor is the actual scope of the research in context of
business as well as for real life. In the present context, it is said that the scope of current
research is quite vast for WFC Contractors along with other multinational organisation
which belongs to the similar sector. With the help of completing the research various
opportunities will attained by WFC Contractors (Hebl and Avery, 2012).
◦ Project’s Deliverables : In present context, the output of this project will help
researcher in getting the information in regards to different strategies that can be
adopted by WFC Contractors and other business organisations in order to bring
equality & diversity.
◦ Product Scope : Scope of this project is that, it will help WFC Contractors in
bringing equality & diversity at workplace, which will aid them in motivating staff
members towards daily targets and different range of goals and objectives in much
effective and efficient manner.
◦ Project Boundaries : Since, the time was limited for the investigator, it will impact
negatively upon desired output. The report will not consider different elements like
perceptions of customers and the existing strategies, which has been followed by
different business organisations that are dealing within the same industry in which
WFC Contractors is performing.
◦ Justification : Basically, the reason behind conducting the investigation is that over
the years, companies have been dealing with equality & diversity related issues,
which brought demotivation among staff members. This is required by firms to
develop equality & diversity related strategies so that to sustain within the market and
perform the operations within the developed values so that no issues the employee
union and society would go through.
 Project Constraints :
◦ Time: Time is the another element which needs to be considered for the
completing the task in an effective manner. Along with this, time required to
complete the whole project is decided by the researcher before starting the

research. For the current research, total time requires to conduct the
investigation is around 5 months. With the help of this, investigator will be able
to produce positive result and accomplish the task effectively.
◦ Organisational Structure : The researcher has considered the functional structure in
regards to executing the project that has been taken into consideration by investigator
i.e. importance of various strategies which will support the management team while
executing equality & diversity within WFC Contractors.
◦ Quality: Researcher will keep the quality of investigation by gathering all the
information in an effective manner from authenticated sources. This is done by
the researcher with the help of collecting data from both primary and secondary
sources. Along with this, it is very essential to keep the quality of research by
keeping all the information confidential (Kirton and Greene, 2015). In order to
maintain and control the overall quality of the research, some of the techniques
are used by the investigator. It includes control chart, quality control chart, flow
chart and many more. Control chart is a graphical representation used by
researcher in order to examine the process changes over the period of time. All
the data are being plotted in time order. On the other hand, flow chart can be
defined as a particular diagram that helps in workflow of a particular project.
Along with this, it is also be considered as an effective step-by-step approach that
aid a researcher in performing the project or executing it in a rightful manner.
Including this, quality control chart is said to be an effective graphic chart that aid
or depicts whether sampled process is effectively meeting the intended specifications
or not. If not, then this is said to be a particular degree that can effectively be utilised
in regards to different specifications. Here, it is said that when every single chart
under this type of chart consists with attributes in regards to a particular product and
it is called a univariate chart.
In present context, quality control chart has been taken into consideration that would
help researcher in meeting all the high quality related requirements within the specific time
frame in regards to the topic, which has been taken and i.e. role and importance of various
strategies which will support the management team while executing equality & diversity within
WFC Contractors.

◦ Communication: It is very essential to communicate all the task to team
members in order to conduct the research effectively. In the present context ,
current investigation is based on equality & diversity at workplace, where
researcher use some tools which includes email, regular meetings, mobile phones
and many more. This will assist in communicating all the strategies in an
effective manner with the staff members.

◦ Risk: Primary risk which is associated with present investigation is using all the
information in a negative manner which is being gathered by the researcher. This will
affect the overall working and reputation of the company at the competitive
marketplace. Therefore, it is essential for the investigator to conduct the research in
an effective manner and keep all the information confidential. In present investigating
report, there are number of risks like technical, external, project-related risks that will
be resolved through adopting the best possible approach, in regards to hitting the
targets in rightful manner.
◦ Resources: The existing investigation is conducted for WFC Contractors on a topic
of equality & diversity at workplace which requires ample number of resources. It
includes land, capital, labour and many more. All these resources assist in completing
the work in an effective manner and within stipulated time frame ( Konrad, Yang and
Maurer, 2016).
▪ Type of resources : In order to conduct the investigation on the chosen topic,
researcher has considered staff members of WFC Contractors (human),

questionnaire (equipment), different research based articles and journals
(materials), online websites of WFC Contractors (information) and the P&L
account of WHC Contractors (financial data has been taken into consideration.

the chosen topic i.e. role and importance of various strategies which will support
the management team while executing equality & diversity within WFC
Contractors, organiser has considered both inside and outside data to pull out
favourable outcomes.

P3 Produce a work breakdown structure and a Gantt chart to provide timeframes and stages for
completion
Work-breakdown structure- In the project management, it is deliverable- oriented
project breakdown in small components. This is important to organize a team's work in
manageable sections. WBS is characterized as a method by which an investigator will able be to
divide the complex and lengthy tasks in small components in order to be able to perform them
effectively in given period of time. It helps in break the task in to the manageable activities. With
an assistance of the breaking down activities and assign them to all team members so that they
can be attained effectively ( Kulik, 2014). Work-breakdown structure explains scope in to the
manageable chunks that project team can be understand in an easy manner and gives information
in a detailed manner.
Gantt chart- Gantt chart is explained as the graphic representation of various task as
well as activities to graphical overview of entire project. This essentially breaks down various
activities that are generally set for limited time period. In context to project, researcher use the
Gantt Chart to help them delegate their work to the member of the team according to their
potential. With this help, the researcher can complete project in an significant way. It is mainly
used for planning the project of all sizes and they are more useful way of displaying work is to

be scheduled on particular day. They help in view beginning as well as start dates of project. On
the other hand, Gantt chart is kind of the bar chart that helps on project schedule and also shows
a dependency relationship among activities and also schedule status ( Kulkarni and Gopakumar,
2014).

M1 Produce a comprehensive project management plan, milestone schedule and project schedule
for monitoring and completing the aims and objectives of the project
Project management plan helps in developing the knowledge of researcher related to
the particular subject or investigation. Project management also helps in monitoring and
evaluating of all the activities that is associated with the subject matter in order to develop a
effective strategy (Kumar, 2019). It includes various factors such as cost, risk, scope, time,
communication, size , quality and so on. This elements contribute in achievement of goals
and objectives of an organisation. In addition to this, PMP helps an investigator in
coordination of activities that is effective for the organisation in gaining high profits.
TASK 2
P4 Small-scale research by applying qualitative and quantitative research methods appropriate
for meeting project aims and objectives
Research methods are helpful in collecting data by using authentic sources. It gives the
reliable and positive outcomes in a better manner. Qualitative and quantitative are two different
kinds of research methods which given below:
Qualitative method- Under this research method, data has been measured in theoretical context.
There are different methods of qualitative research given below:
Interactive methods- It develops theory into complete as well as transparent set of the
protocols for observations, analysis, interpretation and research design ( Phillips and et. al.,
2016).
Interviewing- It is qualitative research technique that consists conducting the intensive
interview of candidates with small respondents number in order to explore their perspectives on
specific idea.

The main benefit of interview method is to obtain detailed information regarding personal
feelings and opinions. The disadvantage of this method is that it is more time taking and costly.
Quantitative method- This is systematic research of the phenomena through collecting the data
and performing computational and mathematical techniques. Different qualitative methods given
below:
Structured observation- Under this method, investigator collect data without any direct
involvement with participants ( Rees and Smith, 2017).
Questionnaire survey- It is research instrument including serious of the questions for
collecting information from the respondents.
For collecting data, questionnaire has been used because main advantage of this method
is that it is not expensive and collect information from large sample size. On the other hand, its
disadvantages are that questionnaire provides dishonest answers and complex to analyse the
questions ( Roulstone and Williams J014). In the present research, qualitative research method
is used by the investigator in order to conduct the research in an effective manner and in proper
way. Apart from this, in context of questionnaire method 20 respondents are being chosen which
are the stakeholders of WFC Contractors.
Apart from this, there are some methods which is used by researcher which includes
primary as well as secondary data collection method. In case of primary data collection method,
all the information and data is collected by the investigator is fresh and not used by anyone
before. It includes interview, observation, survey method, observation and many more. On the
other hand, in case of secondary method all the information gathered by investigator are from
secondary sources which are newspapers, journals, articles, websites and many other methods.
In order to conduct the whole research in an effective manner, investigator adopt both
primary as well as secondary method is used by researcher so that effective and required
information will be gathered by researcher.
