SUMMARY:BITC Race Campaign 30th Anniversary Employee Progression
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn the key actions for UK employers to promote fairness and equality to create truly inclusive workplaces ready for the future.\n\n\nThis is an online event. \nAudience\nThis is event is open to both members and non-members of Business in the Community (BITC). It would be of interest to anyone who has signed the Race at Work Charter. Particularly leaders and Executive Sponsors for Race and those who want to hear first hand from senior leaders about the actions they are taking within their organisations. \n\n\nBackground\n2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the BITC Race Equality campaign. We will be sharing some fresh insights and updated evidence on trends linked to the Race at Work Charter captured within our most recent Leadership\, Employees\, and Procurement survey\, with YouGov in June 2024. This new data fed into our Diverse and Inclusive Supply Chains Insights report and builds on the evidence gathered in our Race at Work Survey series (2015–2021)\, providing a deeper understanding of racial disparities\, fairness and access to opportunities in UK workplaces. \n\n\nAbout the event\nThis is the second of three insight events in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the BITC Race Equality campaign. \nWe will explore what the data has shown us since we first began capturing evidence in our Race to the Top report in 2009\, Aspiration and Frustration in 2010\, Race to Progress 2011\, Race at the Top 2014 and since the Race at Work series in 2015. The evidence that we have gathered has fed into our Race at Work Charter founded in 2018 with 85 employers. Charter commitments four and five which are directly related to managers and employee fair access to opportunities and progression in the workplace. \nWe will be sharing trends on race at work from most recent YouGov 2024 findings and include fresh insights from employees. For example\, what is the experience of microaggressions in the workplace? What about bias and AI? \nWhat actions must employers take collectively now and\, in the future\, to ensure: \n\nFair access to opportunities to progress in the workplace\, good work allocation\, stretch assignments and projects where there is an identified linked to ethnicity and socio-economic background\nData linked to recruitment\, retention\, and performance appraisal linked to employee progression is free from bias\nRestructuring does not have a disproportionate impact on gender or ethnicity in the organisation\n\nAre there simple things linked to accessing work\, networks and opportunities when looking at the intersection of ethnicity and social background? These will be explored at this session. \nWe will also be releasing a new Progression 10-Year trend paper\, looking at the future and share updated tools and materials to help employers to make the case for action in their organisations. \n\n\nSpeakers\nSandra Kerr CBE\, Race Equality Director\, Business in the Community will be chairing the event\, and we are delighted to have some speakers already secured: \nProfessor Nelarine Cornelius BSc\, PhD\, MBA\, Professor of Organisation Studies; Associate Dean\, People\, Culture and Inclusion School of Business and Management\, Queen Mary University \nMartin Barnett\, Global Head Technical Product Experts\, Search Ads 360 \nKhalia Ismain\, Black Entrepreneurs Programme Manager\, Lloyds Banking Group \nDr Chidozie Umeh ACIPD\, FHEA)\, Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management\, Programme Leader MSc Human Resource Management\, School for Business and Society University of York \nLoraine Martins OBE FRSA\, Global EDI Director\, Arup \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact the Events Team any further questions.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\nFind out how your organisation can become a member of Business in the Community
