The objective of this coursework is for you to critically engage with the theory and practice of promoting wellbeing or equality, diversity and inclusion (including cultural diversity) for employees within organizations. We want you to think from both an organizational and an individual points of view. As such, we ask that you undertake a case study analysis of an organisation which is promoting one element of EDI in the management of its employees and discuss the implications of your analysis for your own personal and professional development.

For this assignment, to do the following tasks:

2. Choose an area related to the promotion of either wellbeing or equality, diversity and inclusion [EDI] in the management of employees within organisations i.e. gender equality, race and diversity recruitment, LGBTQ+ identities and employee experience, disability adjustments, the promotion of cultural diversity, etc. Critically summarise some of the theories and academic debate associated with the area that you chose using academic references on the topic;
4. Choose a case study of an organization, that has been in the media in the past 12 months, in any type of sectors(i.e. corporations, SMEs, public organisations, social enterprises, NGOs, etc.)to illustrate the promotion of the area that you chose in 1 within that organization.
6. Critically apply and discuss the academic debate and/or theories that you have summarised in 1 in relation to the practice of this organisation: to what extent does the case study support or illustrate the academic debate?
