DE&I Report: A Must-Read for Every Industry
As part of a trusted advocacy community, we thought we would give you the inside line on a matter that applies to all organisations in every UK industry: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I). According to recent research from Access Recruitment, DE&I initiatives that drive inclusive hiring can significantly boost your company's success.
Our latest research, conducted in partnership with Staffing Industry Analysts, has uncovered a groundbreaking truth: Investing in DE&I isn't just a moral imperative; it's a strategic business decision. The findings in this comprehensive report are relevant to every hiring decision across the UK.
Here's a brief snapshot of the findings:
- 48% of the staffing firms surveyed said their clients (employers) are driving the DE&I agenda, 47% of employers cite a lack of candidate diversity data as a barrier to measuring DE&I succes
- You can double your relevant candidate applications: By prioritising DE&I, you can significantly increase the number of qualified candidates applying for your open positions
- DE&I goes beyond hiring: A more diverse and inclusive company culture can enhance your ability to attract and retain clients
- Boosted employee satisfaction: A workplace that values diversity and equity encourages a more positive and productive environment.
Shockingly, a recent DiversityQ survey revealed that a significant number of HR decision-makers are still biased in their hiring practices. 37% admitted to overlooking candidates based on age, 30% due to race, 31% due to gender, and 33% due to disability or accessibility needs.
