Majority of UK Businesses Only Paying Lip Service to Supporting Workforce Diversity
52% of senior business leaders in the UK say that their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy only “pays lip service to supporting talent from underrepresented groups,” according to the KellyOCG Global Workforce Agility Report 2021.
Two-thirds (66%) of UK firms say they have programmes that support progression and development of talent from underrepresented groups once they’re in roles – well below the global average of 74%.
Only 44% of UK businesses are tracking the success of their
programmes to remove barriers that prevent underrepresented groups from accessing the right work – the lowest percentage from the 13 countries surveyed.
