Inclusive Leadership Assignment Report: Evaluating Line Manager Responsibilities for Diverse Workplace Culture

This formative assessment has been designed to give you as the learner an opportunity to practice the assessment technique which is the basis for assessment 1 (due in week 5). This is a developmental opportunity for you and the cohort will receive generic feedback from the tutor with a reflection of how best to develop your assessment techniques to support assessment 1 (due in week 5).

Task

The HR Business Partner has approached you and suggested that as a Line Manager you consider the potential impact of the implementation of a more inclusive approach to the Line Manager Role. To complete this you would need to consider the following:

• What is inclusion and how does it differ from diversity?
• How culture impacts on inclusion and whether this can be predicted due to culture being viewed as either a static or dynamic feature of people and organisations.
• What potential impact can inclusion have on workplace outcomes and what are the potential drawbacks to you as a Line Manager?

Taking the above into account, write a 500 word report for the attention of the HR BP detailing your consideration of the impact of implementing a more inclusive approach to your role.

The structure of the Report should be:

• Introduction (where you briefly state the purpose of the briefing note)
• The impact of implementing a more inclusive approach to the role of the Line Manager (this should include the potential benefits and drawbacks of the proposal)
• Conclusion (this will cover your reflections on the potential benefits versus the drawbacks of a more inclusive approach)
• Bibliography (not included in the word count)

Guidelines

This assignment should be submitted no later than 13:00 on Monday of next week (UK Time). Your submission should be 500 words in length (+/- 10%).
