Examine ways in which an organization might attempt to reduce or eliminate discrimination.

If you’ve selected question 3 then the paper isnt meeting the requirements of the question as mentioned in the question, “Using case studies examine the ways in which an organisation might attempt to reduce or eliminate discrimination.” but in the paper the purpose of the paper is to “show that some forms of discrimination in the workplace are a result of failure of the HRM to manage potential and actual employees.” whereas the question is asking to examine ways in which the organisation might attempt to reduce or eliminate discrimination. Could you go through the question again and fix the paper and change the purpose of the paper to show (using case studies) ways in which an organisation might attempt to reduce or eliminate discrimination.

 Could you please make the proposed changes

2. Discuss the view that workers no longer require representation at work by a trade union because, in the 21st century, management already fully takes into account the interests of workers when making decisions that affect them.

4. “When they [Polish migrants] first started coming I thought they were really keen workers. Superb workers… But then I found once they get in their comfort zone things change. You find they get into the same league as the rest of them” (Night shift production manager) (Baxter-Reid, 2016: 344). What explains why migrant workers acclimatize themselves to the local work norms over time and should we really be surprised by this?
