We've come a long way

3/1/2019

The last three years have seen an exciting journey within the ethnicity agenda, with the launch of various reports and the Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting Consultation being launched. Over that time, we've worked on this initiative and listened to over 200 organisations, become the secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group for Governance and Inclusive Leadership, launched a workplace conference and awards.
Sarah Garrett MBE tells us how she's keen to ensure that 2019 sees just as much progress as the past few years.

Excited and proud of what we are ALL achieving on ethnicity this year, and all those who are working with us to move this agenda forward! Here's a quick timeline of the work we have done so far.

2016
We listened to employers on how to shift the dial and start conversations by holding round table discussions. At this point ethnicity and the BAME agenda didn't really have a place at the table. On asking the question on how to move this agenda forward, it was agreed that we needed to list best practice recommendations to help organisations know the best route to take.

We also launched the Top 100 BAME leaders with Green Park at the House of Commons.

2017
We asked CEOs and boards to pledge their support and launched a campaign in June, which got press in the Independent, City AM, The Times and The Voice.

We held the largest Workplace Conference of it's kind in the UK, supported by the Mayor of London. The conference brief was to start conversations and share best practice.
The next conference will be held on 28 March, with speakers such as Karen Blackett OBE and the Governor of the Bank of England.

We also worked on the Maturity Matrix using researching best practice from over 200 organisations through our Action Groups and consultations.

2018
As a result, we launched the free & simple-to-use All-Party Parliamentary Group backed
Maturity Matrix in January,  which was submitted by over 50 organisations this year, and being used to help shift the dial by another 30, who have reported to be using it within their wider strategy.

LINK: Events

We have held 26 workshops, action groups and other sessions, to help organisations. We have recognised leaders, allies and companies in our first
ever Investing in Ethnicity Awards in November.
