1. Explain which workplace objective/s you have selected and why.
2. Describe what your evaluation measures are, what type of data they will collect, and how these align with your workplace objective/s.
3. Explain who will conduct the evaluation and why they are the most suitable choice.
4. Describe how frequently the diversity strategies, policies, and procedures will be evaluated and why.
