Diversity at workplace occurs due to the presence of a broad mix of workers from different racial and ethnic backgrounds, national cultures, age and gender (Berglund et al. 2014).

Therefore, the stakeholders may consult with the project managers and ask them about the requirement or information. If the stakeholders are the employees, they may consult with the human resource management about their required information.

The human resource management would need to arrange recruitment processes within the organization, as this would help in reducing the interview cost. . If the human resource management has a low internal support regarding the policy, then the human resource management needs to implement some other strategies after observing the requirements of the other managers (Kerzner 2013). 

It has been found that the human resource management has faced issues while implementing the Workplace Conduct Policy because there was already some legislation in the organization. Therefore, the existing employees were not accepting new rules and regulation (Langley et al. 2013).

Additionally, the human resource management has printed out the rules and regulation on paper and has obtained the signature of employees on the same.

After implementing the strategy at the work place, the human resource management has implemented a monitoring process. As stated by Schmoldt et al. (2013), the risk has been associated by the previous experience of the employees. It has been observed that employees are associated with the previous policy. Therefore, violence may take place at the work place. The employees have created violence against these rules. Workplace violence is associated with physical injury or physical force against the co-worker at the workplace.

The implemented diversity policy is effective enough to decrease workplace violation and increase employee satisfaction.
