Read the background information below and complete the activities.
Over the past three years Marino Enterprises has grown considerably and have expanded their community involvement to include a number of employment programs for disadvantaged groups. Working closely with a local employment provider, Marino employ a number of people with disabilities, mature-age people and Indigenous Australians. Marino has also engaged two local schools with which they employ and train a small group of school-based trainees across all facets of their business. Marino Enterprises also employ a large group of people from the LGBTIQ community, immigrants and international travelling backpackers. This has not been a deliberate policy or program of the company but rather a word of mouth as an employer of choice in the community. With such a diverse and transient workplace, Marino Enterprises feel that their Diversity Policy isn’t matching the work that they do now. There have also been a couple of situations that have not been handled or managed well. |
1. Analyse and review Marino Enterprises Diversity policy and provide feedback in a report to management. The policy is located in the Marino Enterprises Handbook.
Along with explaining the importance and purpose of having a robust diversity policy you are required to make recommendations for improvement so the policy extends to meet the changing workplace environment and culture, and is current in relation to the legislation framework.
Your report should be clear and concise and be written in a language suitable for the audience. You should also follow the Marino Enterprises Style Guide when laying out, formatting and saving your report.
Note: use your research skills to review other diversity policies that are available through your business networks or the Internet. Current legislation can be found at the Fair Work Ombudsman website (www.fairwork.gov.au) and the Human rights Commission (https://www.humanrights.gov.au/employers/good-practice-good-business-factsheets/quick-guide-australian-discrimination-laws
2. Work with at least one other class member to discuss your feedback and recommendations before you submit your report. Your assessor will arrange a time for this group meeting to occur.
During the group meeting you are required to share your feedback and recommendations and consider the views and feedback from your class member/s.
Your assessor will observe and assess you on the way that you communicate, collaborate and interact, and how you demonstrate respect towards others in personal interactions.
At the conclusion of the meeting, make changes to your report and submit it to your assessor.

Instructions
This assessment task requires you to identify a diversity related training need and present the topic to your class. The topic should be related to one of the topics presented in the case studies in Assessment Task 2.
1. Firstly, in a brief memo to your assessor, identify the training need to address the particular issue of difference and discuss at least three ways that a company could promote their diversity policy to staff. Submit your word processed memo to your assessor.
1. Prepare and present the topic to your class. The purpose of the presentation is to:
§ Promote the benefits of diversity in the workplace, including how diversity could enhance products/services and contribute to a competitive advantage.
§ Educate staff on your diversity policy and the Marino Enterprises complaints procedure (this should be referenced rather than step-by-step introduction).
§ Educate staff on the issue of difference that you have chosen.
You will have 20 minutes for your presentation. You are required to use a presentation package and audio visual equipment but you have creative freedom to present the information in the most engaging and interesting way as long as it is appropriate. You may make the use of images, videos, role plays, facts and figures, tables, etc if you chose.
Your assessor will be looking to see that you:
§ Demonstrate respect for the differences you are presenting.
For example, this might include being an advocate during the discussion, being well informed on the topic and discussing the benefits of diversity and why this is important.
§ Encourage diversity and sell the benefits of working effectively in a diverse workplace such as Marino Enterprises.
For example, diversity gives the opportunity for people to learn skills and knowledge from people with different skills/knowledge to themselves; it gives a chance to learn about different cultures, religions, food, the way people live, a different language, history of a country or place, it may open job opportunities, workplaces may offer flexible working arrangements for everyone not just those that need it.
§ Help your class members acknowledge issues relating to workplace diversity.
For example, this might include asking questions of the audience to gauge their understanding and acceptance and responding with information that aligns with the legal framework, polices and the company’s commitment to diversity and giving staff the opportunity to view their opinions and views.
§ Identify diversity factors and give examples of diversity in the workplace.
This might involve being well informed of your topic and providing sound facts and figures and examples of diversity that are discussed in the case studies (or other case studies).
