You work for an organization that has only been operating for a relatively short time.

At start-up there were only five employees. Over the last 12 months business has rapidly increased and the company has taken on another 27 employees.

With the increase in employees the need for a human resource function was identified and you were recruited and selected for the position. Part of your role will involve developing the policies and procedures that will be required in the organization and that will help to ensure compliance with relevant legislation.

Although the workforce appears to be sufficiently diverse you believe that it is important to develop a specific diversity policy.

you will have to conduct the research that will enable you to develop policy and prepare it for implementation.

In a report format, paper explain:

what research you will conduct

the sources of information you will access

how the information collected as a result of the research will contribute to policy development

who will be involved in the research and in the policy development process

the procedures you will follow to develop and to implement the policy

how will you justify, to senior management, the need for a diversity policy?
