Overview
​
96.6% said that their organisation would benefit from BAME inclusion training for leadership and line managers

The biggest barriers stopping the BAME inclusion agenda from progressing

The most common answers were:
• Conscious and unconscious bias
• Lack of leadership buy-in and accountability
• Fear of having honest conversations
• Not seeing yourself at the top. A lack of senior BAME professionals in senior positions
• Recruitment procedure and the need to look for new talent pools

87% said that they believe their organisation should set BAME related targets

Changes that you would like to see in your organisation

The most common answers were:
• Make leadership and all managers accountable through KPIs or targets
• Engagement throughout the organisation, especially from senior leaders and middle-management
• Better data collection and more transparency
• Review and implement changes to recruitment procedure
• Better visibility through events or storytelling

91% said that Government intervention would help

“I feel if something is on the government agenda it shows a positive output and recognition will naturally become a focal point for business”
