- According to the McGregor-Smith review, tackling ethnicity-related barriers to workplace participation and progression could boost the UK economy by £24 billion annually, or 1.3% of GDP. The consultation which closes on 11 January 2019, asks what employers should publish in order to allow for "decisive action" on workplace diversity, without placing undue burdens on businesses
- This session will provide clarification and help businesses understand how to gather data and whether they should be required to publish narrative information, action plans to address any disparities identified by the data, or whether this should remain voluntary, as is the case for gender pay gap reporting
