Business in the Community report finds only 1 in 16 top management positions held by BAME person

The Business in the Community Race at Work Report 2015, following a survey of 24,457 individuals, reveals that in the UK today, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people are under-represented at every management level in the workplace, with only one in 16 top management positions being held by an ethnic minority person.

The Business in the Community Race at Work Report 2015, following a survey of  24,457 individuals, reveals that in the UK today, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people are under-represented at every management level in the workplace, with only one in 16 top management positions being held by an ethnic minority person. The report also highlights that BAME people are less likely to be rated as top performers compared to their white counterparts and people are not comfortable talking about race at work. The ‘good news’ is that that BAME people are more likely to have access to a sponsor to mentor them than white employees. Pages 38 and 39 of the report make a number of recommendations for employers, including: promote awareness of racial bias in the workplace, set objectives for managers around ensuring diversity and inclusion and review succession planning lists for diverse talent.
