    Assessment Task 1: Research project
Instructions
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 several employment programs for disadvantaged groups. Working closely with a local employment provider, Marino employ several 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 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.
Feedback Report:
1: Key features of the existing policy:
The current policy covers the issue of diversity to a limited extent
It includes diversity with regards to people from different ethnicities and the indigenous population
It also includes information on treatment of older individuals
It does not include much detail regarding individuals of controversial genders
It also has little detail about those with illnesses and abnormalities
2: Current legislations:
Federal Laws:
1. Age Discrimination Act 2004
2. Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986
3. Racial Discrimination Act 1984
Sate and territory laws:
1. Victoria- Equal Opportunity Act 2010
2. Western Australia- Equal Opportunity Act 1984
3. Queensland- Anti-Discrimination Act 1991
3: What is lacking in the existing policy.
The existing policy has little details about individuals from LGBTQ community. In addition, little details are incorporated regarding those with disabilities and mental illnesses.
The company also does not provide any assurance to individuals that they would receive unconditional support against discrimination.
4: Recommendations and feedback.
It is recommended that the policy be entirely upgraded. More clauses must be included detailing the costs and punishments of discrimination and unconditional support for minority communities.
The policy must also be more focussed on detailing the compliance of the company with the federal and state laws applicable to it.
5: Conclusion:
The company has a fair policy when it comes to diversity within its workplace. However, since the times are changing, there is need to incorporate the new elements within its policy as well. The original policy focusses on equality and fairness and inclusion of different races and people of different ages. However, now, focus also needs to be laid on emerging communities like gays, lesbians and transgenders. There is thus a need for an upgrade of the current policy.

    Case study 1: Michael
Michael has worked for Marino Enterprises as their Accounts Officer in the Melbourne head office for the three years of their operation and worked for Luigi for 10 years before then. He has explained to Luigi and his manager that he will be commencing a gender transition and will be known as Michelle upon returning from a month of leave.
Michael’s manager works with HR to set up information sessions for staff to discuss the matter before Michelle returns from leave.
At the first meeting, some of the other staff are hostile, asking, ‘When there’s only one of her, it or whatever, and there’s nearly twenty of us, why is it us who have to be accepting? Why do we have to change?’ The manager and HR team work to educate the employees about transgender issues and discrimination, terminology and the acceptable use of names and pronouns.
