Monitoring Ethnicity: A Comprehensive Guide for Employers
This Monitoring ethnicity: A comprehensive guide for employers toolkit provides information on taking a snapshot of a business’s workforce. Doing this will help to identify where there may be ‘bottlenecks’ in the talent pipeline and identify where it might wish to target action and resource, track progress and celebrate improvements as they are made.
What is monitoring?
Monitoring is the systematic collection and storage of information (usually data), and the analytical processing and evaluation of that information. This can cover existing and potential employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
Monitoring can be done at a variety of different points in the employment cycle including attraction, recruitment, training, promotion, staff surveys, performance management, exit interviews, sick absence, grievances and dismissals.
