Almost two-thirds (61%) of Black employees experienced racism in the workplace in 2021, according to a new report published today by Pearn Kandola, a leading business-psychology consultancy.
Despite this, the Racism at Work research found that over half of UK employees are not seeing racial equality promoted at work.
Conducted in 2021, the new report replicates a 2018 study to explore experiences and changes in perceptions of racism in modern UK workplaces. It revealed that even though we have seen a number of significant global events over the last four years – including the tragic death of George Floyd and the widespread racial equity movement it sparked in 2020 – very little has changed when it comes to discussing and promoting racial equality in work environments.
