Diversity remains high on the business agenda. Working Week was recently asked to look at factors that prevent professional women and people from minority ethnic backgrounds climbing the career ladder.
It's clear from our work that different minority groups require different approaches if employers are to harness and maximise their talents. For example, women make up half of the workforce but only one in six move into senior management roles. But Black Minority Ethnic people are barely represented in many professions.
Targeted intervention is the way forward. But organisations must also target how they talk and write about diversity if they are to get the message across to the people who count.
Does your organisation need to up its equal opportunities game? Contact Lucie Carrington for more information on how we can help you target your diversity message at the right audiences.
