Trainer’s comment:
The following sentences relating to the diversity policy being implemented and
understood by staff are:
TRUE FALSE
A business may have a specific diversity policy, or it may incorporate
diversity when creating its HR policies.
A policy will outline how the business will embrace and utilise diversity in its
operations as well as how to prevent breaches of legislation and workplace
requirements.
The policy should also detail grievance procedures and actions that will be taken
if breaches or complaints are reported.
All staff should be made aware of the business’ policies on diversity in the
workplace during their induction process.
All staff should be formally assessed to ensure they are familiar with every aspect
of a diversity policy.
It is important to ensure that all staff members understand the content and intent
of the policy, as well as their rights and obligations under it.
Staff should also be able to freely access it and refer to it whenever they need
to.

Which of the following are actions you may take to promote the diversity policy?
Distributing copies of the policy to staff during the induction process or via email or
hardcopy whenever there is an alteration
Trainer’s comment:
Indicate whether the following sentences relating to getting to know and show respect to your
staff are true or false.
TRUE FALSE
The best way to set an example of respecting diversity is to get to know
each and every member of your staff.
Showing that you respect staff, regardless of their cultural origins, will allow
them to feel they are a valued part of the workforce.
A staff member who is in the minority could find it difficult to adapt to the
workplace.
Seeing that the Manager has time and respect for the person set a good
example for other staff to follow.
You should ask staff to share personal details as this will serve to make
the person feel included.
People from different cultural backgrounds will react differently to
pressures from inside or outside the workplace.

Trainer’s comment:
Indicate whether the following statements relating to using ideas and information
from a diverse workforce are true or false.
TRUE FALSE
Rather than being seen as a potential problem in the workplace, diversity should
be seen as an asset.
In large cities, there is often a need for service staff who speak many
languages.
It is often reassuring for customers to deal with someone who speaks their language
and understands their cultural nuances.
People of different backgrounds tend to have various approaches to problem
solving.
During business negotiations, it helps if a member of staff with the same
cultural background is involved.
Cultural differences have no influence over decisions to choose particular
suppliers or products.

Trainer’s comment:
You have been asked to investigate a formal complaint which has occurred in an outlet
operated by your company. Indicate which of the following steps should be taken to
investigate the incident in a professional manner:
TRUE FALSE
Your first step should be to removing the possibility of the actions
occurring again in the future.
You should ask the complainant if any assistance is required and then
provide it.
Familiarise yourself with the relevant policies, procedures, personal records
and legislation governing the type of complaint and how to deal with it.
Ask for any witnesses of the alleged incident and what outcome is
desired. Once you have interviewed the complainant you should
interview the defendant using the same questions.
Once you have gathered all the facts you need to review these and make a
recommendation for further action.
