Diversity Research-Refugee and Migrant

Question: Discuss about the Diversity Research-Refugee and Migrant. Answer: Introduction: The research is about the practical placement before the selected organization would enter the new place. For conducting the research in consideration with refugee and migrant, Anglicare migrant Resource center has been chosen. This organization provides migrant and refugee support by providing substantial range of program and services seeking to strengthen and develop the community within the Sydney (Anglicare.org.au 2017). Research aims at identifying and collecting the relevant policies between clients and service providers. Discussion: In the current study, there is a need to identify the diversity policy for the identified target group. Migrants are provided with the special services. The target group are illiterate students women outside the labor market, who are not attending any special form of language and labor market training. The diversification policy adopted would be so deigned that it would provide newly arrived refugees who are in need of obtaining basic qualifications. An individual plan would be drawn up for any person who are willing to participate in the program. Some of the policy would involve bilingual teaching and imparting the basic qualification required in the labor market. The diversity policy would enable the target group facing several barriers to employment by assisting them in finding work experiences places and help in removing traditional attitudes and lack of knowledge within the target group in any organizations (De Vaus 2013). Communication strategy development: Anglicare can effectively develop its communication strategies for meeting the objectives of developed policies between clients and services. Objectives identification- Anglicare should first identify the need for communication with all the stakeholders. Objectives are written down and shared among the staff members. The main objective of the policies would be to encourage collaboration and participation of women not knowing special knowledge (Lehmann 2013). Conducting stakeholder analysis- Different stakeholders at the community level needs to be identified. It would help in deciding similar information needs. Designing the key messages- The relevant messages that are considered critical for achieving the objectives are so designed that target group properly understands it. Selection of communication method- Organization should identify the risk that it might possess to community members. Development of research methods: In the first phase of research, an extensive literature review is done in Australia and working in supporting the employment transition of refugees. It focused on identification innovative employment service model in areas with significant refugees. Primary data for conducting the research was gathered through semi structured qualitative interviews. The interview was conducted for a time of four months. In carrying out the interviews, twenty employees from refugee background, employers and employment services providers were consulted. Interview was conducted via telephone or face-to-face using an interview schedule (Neuman 2013). Most of the interview were transcribed and digitally recorded. Other personnel that participated in research by completing a written questionnaire involved two employers of organization. Collection of quantitative data was also done by consulting with the employment service providers. They were asked to rate the success factors and importance of pre identified barriers to employment. Data on geographical spread of target initiatives were provided by a mapping exercise of employment services targeting refuges mainly women (Neuman 2013). Resources required for conducting research: For carrying out the research, many personnel of organization were involved. Some of the financial resources required in carrying out the research will be the revenue or profits generated by company. It can also make use of some external grants and this external support would provide the organization with operational funds that is essential for providing satisfactory means of research. Financial and human resources of any organization helps in making informed decision in the research process. Human resources such as managers and lower level staffs contributes to research by providing relevant information (Healey 2014). Identification of government policies, legal and ethical consideration relevant to diversification policies: Employment practice in Australia is not regarded as culturally bound. There is an importance of on-arrival English programs in providing orientation around employment system and culture alongside teaching English. Department of training and education develops workplace culture in Australia for new migrants. It is titled as Employability and workplace culture in Australia (Sarason 2013). Government has refugee-monitoring program that provides the participants with the opportunities for identifying their career goals, recognizing skills and step required to have overseas qualification. Diversity policies undertaken by the organization aims at imparting education to women in bilingual language and basic education required in labor market. There are legislations that is for understanding the refugees entrants of employment pathways. The intermediate labor market program targets refugees having the potential to provide those removed from labor market and by lifting their employability. Th erefore, there are few regulations that seems to be relevant with identified diversification policy of Anglicare Migrant research center. However, the government does not have national refugee employment strategy (Scull and Woolcock 2012). Reviewing of the policies, procedures and other relevant documents at workplace: Anglicare has few programs in place that has helped the humanitarian entrants to participate in the social and economic life by equipping individuals with knowledge and skills required in the labor market. Organization make use of training programs and it equips the individual who are likely to be involved. It also assist the individual migrants in understanding the present and past issues facing new arrivals in such a way that they are appropriate and culturally sensitive (Lehmann 2013). Consultation with key stakeholders: While conducting the research, it is very essential to organize regular meeting with key stakeholders regarding research designs, methodology and developed strategies and policies for of upliftment refugees and increasing their contribution in the labor market of Australia. Conclusion: The diversification policies identified through this research is regarded as critical to thinking the making of successful transition of employment in Australia. Australia is regarded as linguistic and culturally diverse culture and employers should be encouraged to see humanitarian entrants and refugees for the diversification of skills and wealth that they bring in to the country. Several factors that have been analyzed from research contribute to refugees in making use of their skills by finding sustainable and meaningful work. Reference: Anglicare.org.au.
