› Why BAME diversity matters to business › Key insights from unique FTSE 100 research › Recommendations for leaders
› 12.5% of the UK population are BAME › Set to grow to 20% by 2030
› Business missing out on talent › Better serve customers › Diverse teams 35% more likely to financially outperform (McKinsey) › An international trading nation?
› Partnership with British Academy of Management › Research team from UK universities
› Focus on FTSE 100 – plus other leading employers › Web review – public face of full FTSE 100 › Survey of 24 FTSE 100 HR/Diversity & Inclusion leads › 26 interviews with BAME and non-BAME managers
KEY INSIGHTS
PUBLIC FACE OF THE FTSE 100.
› Leading: extensive evidence of good policy and practice, reflected effectively in corporate imagery. › Progressing: some evidence
effective corporate imagery. › Starting: or, in some cases, ‘Yet to Start’. Limited or no evidence of policy, or BAME elements within corporate identity.
What one change could improve the progression of BAME managers?
› Many have doubts over culture-fit › Lack of senior BAME role models › Demands resilience and “going the extra mile”
WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?
BE INCLUSIVE AND ADAPTIVE
› Management pipeline, not just the Boardroom. › Transparency on BAME pay and progression gap › Champion progressive employers › Address inequalities in educational access and attainment
› Help colleagues break the silence – talk about difference › Engage with diversity initiatives – share information › Ask for more – from line managers, from mentors and sponsors, and from the business. Seek opportunities to develop skills › Challenge the status quo
