Assignment Brief and Guidance:
Scenario:
Evidence has shown that maintaining equality and diversity in organizations brings many
benefits including improved productivity; increased market share; more innovation problemsolving; a better reputation with staff, suppliers and customers; better work environment for
staff; and reduced risk of damaging discrimination cases (Angel and Tahir, 2016) 1. Equality
ensures that everybody has the same access to the same opportunities without any
discrimination. Diversity considers differences between people and groups of people, by
placing a positive value on those differences.
A diverse and inclusive workplace values people’s different backgrounds, knowledge, skills,
and experiences, and uses these differences to create a productive and effective workforce.
Managing both equality and diversity is equally important as it impacts all the employees
working in an organisation. Business cases have proven that biases and discrimination within
the workplace can impede business growth and productivity and therefore, many businesses
look beyond any legal considerations and policies to effectively promote equality and diversity
to improve productivity, opportunity, and competitiveness (Moore, 1999)2.
Nowadays, many organizations in Oman have started to integrate equality and diversity in
their overall human resources (HR) policy and to disseminate that to all staff by way of
inductions and team presentations. Equality and diversity policy is integrated into day-to-day
customer care and workplace practices including marketing, communications, staff welfare
and recruitment. Some of the practical steps taken included reviewing publicity information
to ensure that illustrations on handbooks and websites were representative of diversity and
that the content communicated clearly complies with companies equality and dignity at work
policies and procedures. Some companies organized cultural food days and celebrated staff’s
national days. Equality issues are kept on the agenda through the staff newsletter. Others
have equality policy on public display and produced an abbreviated form of its full equality
policy for day-to-day use.
Assume you are working as an HR manager in an organization in Oman, which during the past
five years had significant growth in terms of sales and workforce. Over this period, the
workforce has become very diverse, including more than 75 employees, which necessitates
to have a clear policy related to equality and diversity in the organization. The CEO of your
organization intends to make policy level changes in the organization with the aim of
embedding equality and diversity into the corporate culture to enhance the overall

performance of the organization. The CEO requested you to initiate the project, and submit a
business case report coupled with a presentation for the main findings.
By using the above scenario, prepare a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation should
critically evaluate and reflect on the project outcomes, the decision-making process and
changes or developments of the initial project management plan to support justification of
recommendations and learning during the Project. To facilitate preparation of the
presentation of your business case, you are required to review the “learning and grading
criterion table” on page 4.
You are required to reflect on the success of the project and performance in a personal
performance review at the end of the project. This written reflection should be around 500
words. A template of the personal performance review is attached as appendix.

• Please do not forget to attach the personal performance review with the slides
