    BSBDIV601 Assessment

    Assessment 1: Short Answer Questions


    Question 1
    What are the potential benefits of diversity to a business organisation and how is diversity
    linked to the success of different business operations? You need to consider contemporary
    diversity theory.
    To answer this question, conduct independent research and try to address benefits from a
    different perspective.

    Question 2
    Explain what diversity means in a workplace context. Consider individual differences, cultures,
    beliefs, and the traditions and practices of people.

    Question 3
    On what legislation, codes of practice and national standards might the development of
    organisational diversity policies be based?
    Consider codes, standards and legislation relevant to your own state or territory and the ways
    in which legislation will be incorporated into business operation. Conduct appropriate research
    to answer this question.

    Assessment 2: Case Study


    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.
    According to your database, more and more international staff members joined ABC Company.
    Now, ABC believes that diversity has the benefits below:
     better business performance and higher employee productivity
    Page 1 of 3
     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.
    Your CEO developed your position description with an emphasis on transforming the mission
    statement and diversity policy into a plan for implementation. You need to complete the tasks
    below.
    1. Why should ABC analyse existing practices in relation to diversity?

    2. Explain the benefits of diversity in ABC and how diversity relates to achievement of
    business objectives.

    3. Why might it be a good idea to access and review diversity policies from organisations
    that are similar to the ABC?

    4. What other sources of information might be useful? List 2 sources and briefly describe
    the information that might be collected from these sources.

    5. Who should be consulted and involved in the development/ amendment/ improvement
    of diversity policies for ABC and why?

    6. Note and describe the steps that would be followed, after the initial research phase, to
    prepare a diversity policy. You also need to have your diversity policy ready and
    develop an action plan for the policy.

    7. A diversity policy has been developed and finalised. What are the next steps? Consider
    tools, presentation, communication and stakeholders. Develop benchmarks and
    indicators to measure impact of policy implementation. Explain how to monitor
    business activities, team plans and staff performance to ensure diversity policy is
    effectively implemented.

    8. Once the policy is implemented and has been operational for a period of time it will be
    necessary to review it. Explain why this is necessary, how it might be done and what
    might occur as a result of a policy review.

    9. Have your new policy and procedures ready. Consult and communicate effectively with
    finance manager, business operations manager, project managers, customer service
    manager and sales manager (your classmates) and CEO (your assessor) to develop,
    implement, monitor and review the new diversity policy and procedures. You need to
    ensure your managers are clear about your new policy and answer all their questions.
    After the communication, you may update your policy and procedures according to the
    feedback.
