Case Study in Bold Letter

You have just been employed as a HR manager in ABC Company. As an organisation, ABC Company has embedded diversity into its charter as is indicated by company diversity policy, but neither company mission nor the current operational plan contain any detail for implementation of the diversity policy. The current diversity policy has not been updated for 4 years.

better business performance and higher employee productivity

an increase in creative thinking and innovation

improved staff health and wellbeing as a result of a culturally safe environment

lower risk of discrimination and harassment in the workplace

a culture that accepts difference

an environment that supports the health and well-being of workers

increased levels of employee satisfaction, therefore higher productivity and less attrition

Respect and appreciation of all employees, regardless of their backgrounds (without regard to gender, age, sexuality, race, nationality, family circumstances, marital status, disability, religion, political preference, trade unionism or any other classification protected by applicable law), is integral to creating a collaborative workplace culture, competitive advantage in a global environment and, ultimately, sustainable business success.
