Introduction: 

The purpose of this report is to identify the diversity issue in the given scenario. 

Analysis of diversity in the organisation: 

According the qualitative data, the changes in gender diversity within the organization expected to increase competition and effective decision making. Most of the women in the business field were a successful employee of an organisation and presented the high valuable contribution to organisational success.

The parentage of male employees compared to female employees has been 23%, which states there are a smaller number of women participations in the organisation compared to men in the organisation There is a rigid culture that has been followed within the organisation due to limited to lack of differentiated ideas shared by women employees. There have been wage dissimilarities between the male and female employees, which states that the moral value, satisfaction, interests, the contribution of women are low than men due to limited motivation.

The objectives of being respectful of people’ religious beliefs could be practiced, when the clinic make decisions which could satisfy each employee and their cultural differences. Thus, there might be some decision regarding a prayer place for all the employees’ patients and guts within the clinic.

When there was the announcement of bonuses, the manager has provided 1000 bucks extra to Mr B than Mr A, in spite of the fact Mr A has been contributed much hard work than Mr B in the annual year.

The employees of United States and Australia might be able to effectively coordinate when they can learn, coordinate and understand each other working styles through team-based training and development programs.  

Question 8: 

Workplace diversity has been one of the key aspects which have been presented the scope of innovation, creativity and sustainable growth of the organisation. The working environment might become tough and confusing for the employees due to the differences in cultures, background and perceptions within the workplace (Kamales and Knorr 2019). Thus, the training and development program in cultural awareness is supposed to be a key factor for reducing these issues. The employees within an organisation are satisfied, coordination and cooperating within the satisfying environment when there is the acceptability of culture, language and perception of one another (Cletus et al. 2018). The training of cultures includes awards, education and learning of the employees about different cultures and ways to accept them while working with respective colleagues. 

Question 9:

What if, an employee is belonging to Japanese culture handle and communicates with the Japanese client. The cultural diversification helps to present the satisfaction to the clients by bringing them communicating with an employee familiar with their cultural background (Hatipoglu and Inelmen 2018). The workplace diversification provides information about each cultural background to its employees, it becomes easy for the employees to satisfy all the needs and requirements of the customers, when they provide a familiarly within the cultures. 

Question 10: 

Group seminar or meeting presents a single place, where all the employees for the two departments are engaged in healthy communication, this helps to cope up with issues and learning about one another and develop and proper coordination. Teamwork based projects to be engaged within these two departments to work together, the team working reduces the hindrances and difference between the individual and develop proper coordination within them (Sakdiyakorn and Wattanacharoensil 2018). Feedback analysis includes discussion over the issues and problems faced by the employees of two departments with one another, this strategy helps to resolve the differences and create a mutual acceptance. For the development of collaboration within all members of two departments, it is necessary to engage them for one goal and objectives, the management can encourage consistent open communication to increase interaction within the departments. Development of empathy, practising transparency, engagement of open feedback also helps to increase the collaborations within the department and its members.   

Question 11:

Training and development in the English language, to provide proper education on the basic conversations made in English to the employee. The suggestion of participating in courses, which could help her to instantly learn English as it is the common language in the professional field (Maireder et al. 2017). The employee might require increasing her interaction in the English language, which could help her to understand her errors and a basic understanding of the language.  

Question 12: 

Question 13: 

Use of symbols, images, and pictures to make the girl communicate much effectively, the employee of the organisation might also gesture posture and movement of hands to make better interaction with the girl having hearing issues. The pictures, images, videos, symbols might be found through the administrative department or general market (Soliz and Phillips 2018). The resources might be required for general staff members to avail them for helping the girl.   

Question 14: 

Participation in the group-based communication exercises, courses and seminars, which provide a decent understanding over the Australian accent, looking for social; media-based videos clips and audio clips, which can present learning about the styles of speaking and practice them (Roberson 2019).

Question 15: 

In Accenture, the engagement of workplace diversity strategies makes successful when the employees of the organisation are easy to learn and accepts the changing situations of the workplace. The training and development, regular meeting, conferences and proper feedback from every employee are helpful to provide updated information about the acceptability of cultural diversity (Sakdiyakorn and Wattanacharoensil 2018). These strategies fail when the employees are not able to adjust with cultural changes, differences in language, thinking process, style, beliefs and perceptions of staff, members from different cultural background. A regular training and development, group-based working, common goal orientations and effective and regular communication helps to improve the impact of the diversity strategy. 

Question 16

Cultural safety is defined as an environment which is safe based on the cultural; social spiritual and emotional aspect. The learning educating and increasing knowledge about a specific culture to a person or group of individuals in a specific time is called as cultural awareness (Kato and Kodama 2018). Cultural competence is the ability and capability of an individual to understand, accept, adjust, interact and communicate with the people belonging to different cultural backgrounds.  

2. Explain how cultural safety and cultural competence affect leadership

The cultural safety increases the workplace environment aspect and reduces the chances of conflicts, misunderstanding and chaos; these support the coordination and cooperating within the employees. Leaders are much easily being able to direct and motivate the group of employees as they are satisfied with the environment (Kamales and Knorr 2019). The cultural competence increases the leadership by increasing its decision-making capabilities as it overcomes the barriers of language cultural differences within the individuals in the workplace.   

Question 17: 

In the business field, the diversity understands the uniqueness, capabilities and competencies of the individuals within the workplace recognising the cultural differences. The diversity is the way of understanding; working, coordinating and cooperating with the individuals belong to different cultures (Ng and Sears 2020). In Accenture, diversity is been based on male and female employees, employees of every age group, employees from different nations, and employees following different cultural norms.        

Question 18: 

Diversity within the workplace should be the aim of every business entity to seek competitiveness within the present marketplace. The diversity within the workplace directly hits the employee's performance and experiences as diversity have goals for itself that are encouraging innovation, interaction shading of knowledge and information as well as enhancing high-end profitability (Roberson 2019). Due to different perspectives visions and perceptions, diversity increases knowledge of speaking working and another form of experiences. The employee's experiences are enhanced social, personal and professional way as there is a different source of learning Diversity within workplace increase creativity and productivity of the employee, as there is an increase in sharing of ideas, opinions, suggestions, which reflect an effective team-based performance (Wang and Fang 2020). Workplace diversity reduces the fear of competitiveness and improves the performance of the employees through support, recognition from colleagues based from different cultural backgrounds.   

Question 19: 

The child care or elderly care services imposed by the government ensures that every employee and patients should be treated equally based on their general age group, these ethical consideration falls under the age and sex. No patients within the elderly care to be mistreated or unfairly treated as per ethical considerations to discrimination and disability.

The staff members of the elderly home are required to be provided with all the equipment, safety, security and proper work environment as per the human rights based on the legal and ethical considerations, the roles and responsibilities of workers are to provide expected and high-quality elderly car survives, consumers responsibly are to share their feedback and experiences, the responsibilities of the employers are to put the right employee at the right place in the elderly care home.

The indirect discrimination is mistreatment based on favouritism, limiting success, non-recruiting due to height or weight, no job positions due to belongingness to minority group or women.     

Question 21: 

The United States-based professional service providing company Accenture has been engaged with different professional developmental opportunities. The employees have been provided on the job and off the job training, workshop practices and collaborative learning for enhancing their knowledge (Cletus et al. 2018). The company also includes skill development programs training sessions and seminars regarding professional development and updating knowledge of the staff members. The barriers of inclusivity include workplace bullying; insensitive behaviours of employees, rude and use of words to the employees belong to different cultures. Favouritism and selective mentoring are another barrier to inclusivity (Moonasar and Underwood 2018). The professional barrios could be adopted by engaging monthly training, seminars, a conference to enhance communication, sharing of information and ducting employees about this improper behaviour their related banalities.

B. Two-page report summarising the areas of discussion (1-3). Report must follow a standard report format.

The report includes brief qualitative and quantitative analysis, which has helped to understand the requirement of diversity within the workplace. The business field has been still increasing the concept of diversity, which has seen that there is still lack of proposals acceptance from females to lead the managerial positions within the business organisation like Accenture (Accenture 2021). The Accenture has included different training and development programs, enhanced flow of communication and information, developed coordination and collaborations within the workplace. The stakeholders of the company have also played a vital role in supporting, boosting the application of the diversity policies and procedures within the organisation. As per the human resource management head of the organisation, the application of the diversity polices has been imposed by attracting a pool of talented workforce for the company from different countries or continents. The development, management and imposition of diverse workplace certainly increase future growth and development of the company.

The increase in adaptability and acceptability has played a vital role to impose the diversity within the workplace of Accenture and foster the collaborative working environment within the business entity (Roberson 2019). The policy of discrimination and equal distribution of employability opportunities are the better way to increase diversity within the workplace, the continual learning and training and development programs are effective procedures to grow diversity policy and practice within the workplace of Accenture.
