Significance of equality and diversity

According to views of Wilkinson, 2019, Multicultural environment is also significant for
many organizations like team diversity is a representation of a positive attribute that can help in
enhancing performance of teams. It also helps in understanding the cultural diversity is a source
of insight and helps in production of constructive debates that can help in generation of more
creativity. The author also claims that there is generation of “Value in diversity” where members
of a group have their own unique perspective for creation of large skills, information and
approaches for achievement of certain individual potentials for the benefit of organization. There
is also a development of more learning opportunities for different workers for taking together
abilities, talent and experiences that can be common between colleagues. Diversity is very
helpful in developing of adjustment capabilities among employees of a organization that is very
essential to enhance their suitability towards various organizational functions.
Skills and knowledge possessed by a culturally diversified workforce can help in enhancement of
performance that is a source of insights and smarter teams help in boosting up of innovation and
creativity. With instance to Fat bear a culturally diverse team helps in creation and fostering of
more creativity in the organization as there are different views of each individual that helps in
higher quality decision that are made in the organization.
According to view points of Louis petty, 2016 equality and diversity is a issue that is relevant for
all workplaces irrespective of the type and nature of the industry. There has to be promotion of
equality & diversity practises in organisations in order to ensure that people are coming together
to achieve the common laid down objective of the organisation. Equality act was also introduce
in UK to eliminate any type of unlawful discrimination and promotion of positive relationships
among people. There has to be protection of people from nay type of discrimination that is based
on disability, age, gender reassignment, maternity, race, religion or beliefs (How Equality &
Diversity Improves Your Workplace: Examining the Benefits, 2016 ).
Problems arise out of equality and diversity
According to views of Edge T., (2018), there are different barriers that can arise because
of predominate culturally diverse groups that are part of a organization. Social direction is a most
crucial section of an individual’s character and workers from several country backgrounds suffer
lot of barriers at the place of work like misconception and confusion etc. Due to equality and
7

diversity, there are several issues that can be faced by the administration of Fat Bear Restaurant.
As firm evolves, they highly reflect the differences of culture and perspectives that exist in
current time. Workplace diversity indicates to the variety of differences among individual in an
establishment. That sounds simple, but diversity encompasses race, gender, ethnic team, age,
personality, cognitive style, tenure, organizational function, education, background and many
more. In respective firm, there are number of people are working within and they belong from
different region and use different languages in their communication which generate diversity in
working environment. Due to the nature of the two matters, companies experience several
challenges in realizing equality and diversity. Company realizes that administrating diversity is
more than just recognizing differences in people. In considers understanding the significance of
differences, avoiding discrimination and pushing for inclusiveness. Thus, the first issue is having
the right perspective about equality and diversity. The second challenge is administrators losing
personnel and expiring minimized work efficiency because of prejudice and discrimination as
well as complaints and legislative battles against the firm. Negative attitudes and demeanors can
be roadblocks to organizational equality and diversity since they are highly likely to harm
working relationships and influence self esteem, hence minimizing work productivity. In other
words, administrators may find it challenging addressing such negative attitudes and demeanors
as prejudice, discrimination and stereotyping, especially in relation to termination, retention and
hiring practices. In these references, these negative attitudes and demeanors could result in costly
litigation.
As per the view of Njiru M. (2014), several circumstances abilities possessed through a
different group is most beneficial in development of the group execution and in several situations
ineffective communication abilities direct to conditions of issues due to poor administration and
can influence the group execution in an unfavorable manner. There are several problems that are
having relation among managing diversity that is associated to communication of thought and
ideas can be sometimes much challenging to understand due to differences prevailing in
languages and culture. There are also several cross cultural obstructions such as vulnerability,
ethnocentrism and stereotyping that is due to deficient in social information and absence of open
skills. Employed from several nationality teams posses diversification in insight of viewing
several aspects and then it directs to creation of issue’s in acknowledging others perception that
can has an influence on workplace of a company. That ultimately forms an impact on the
8

efficiency of entire employees and inefficiency in executing several allotted fruitions to workers.
With example to Gat Bear Restaurant, there are more effectiveness need on part of leaders and
administrators to handle the unfavorable influence of and all the issues that are occurring due to
conception of equality and diversity in companies.
According to view points of Sheryl sandberg, 2019 there are generally two types of diversity
that includes acquired diversity that consist of differences in education, experiences and skills.
That may lead to constructive debate among st employees. And other is inherent diversity that
involves differences that are arsing because of age, race and gender. It may lead to creation of
interpersonal conflict among employees as there are prejudices and biases that require careful
management to avoid situation of low performance of employees. Some of the commonly
associated issues that can arise in case of Fat bear restaurant includes the communication issues
as the communication between team members can be a challenges because of the diverse
background to which they belong. There can be two many opinions because diverse employees
may posses different ways of approaching a particular situation. There can be a scenario of
hostility in instances when the top management is nor able to make judgment or decisions based
on logic and facts. Sometimes the poor performance scenario can lead to reduction in morale,
innovation and productivity among the whole workforce which ultimate leads to non
achievement of laid objectives of the organization (Top Challenges Of Diversity In The
Workplace, 2019).
Chapter 3: methodology Justification:
Advantages of proposed method:
Surveyor has selected a qualitative research approach that is one of the best suitable
strategy that can be used for achievement of desired results. It helps in having a in-depth picture
of the whole project. Difference semi structure Questionnaires are very helpful for the researcher
in achievement results with the assistance of questionnaire. The chosen topic requires a in depth
analysis of by studying the subject in a detailed manner.
Disadvantage of proposed method:
9

One of the basic demerit of the method selected by researcher is that data analysis is a
complex activity and can be highly subjective for the purpose of using primary research as a
method of research.
There is also a disadvantage associated that there is no proper generational of results of entire
inhabitants because the sample is very small and process is purposive in some aspects of the
research. The skills required by Questionnaireer requires extensive preparation that has to be
considered for preparation of Questionnaire.
For accomplishing organisational goals and objectives it is very much important to build
time frame that provides guidance to pace towards the definite direction in order to achieve
desirable goals and objectives.
Methodology justification
For collecting the significant type of information and information it is important to use
research tools and techniques from the various sources that helps in taking important kind of
decisions and enhance viability of outcomes in potential manner (nyusheva, Thammashote and
Thongaim, 2020). To accumulate knowledge and information majorly two kinds of
methodologies existed that is qualitative and quantitative as per the objective researchers select
best out of it that are as follows:
Research design: the investigation is depended on the design of research which is made by t he
researcher to examine the impact on the performances of the overall Fat bear organisation at the
target market places. There are mainly three type of the research design such as descriptive and
experimental as well as exploratory ways which helps in conducting the market research in the
