Voices from the Race at Work Surveys Report 2024
The ‘Voices from the Race at Work Surveys’ report was commissioned by Business in the Community’s (BITC) Race Equality Leadership Team and aims to amplify the voices of more than 42,000 employees, who provided comments across our Race at Work Surveys (2015, 2018 and 2021 ), in collaboration with YouGov.
It includes an introduction from BITC’s Race Equality Director, Sandra Kerr CBE, as well as three key calls to action for employers to encourage racial equality in the workplace and an additional call to action for HR Directors.
The report covers:
- Key themes: uncover thematic insights from each survey, shedding light on the reality of race equality in the workplace.
- Policy implications: understand the implications of these findings for HR and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) policy and practise.
- Employee experiences: read compelling quotes from individuals explaining their experience as Black, Asian, Mixed-Race and ethnically diverse employees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The Race At Work Charter asks businesses to make a public commitment to improving equality of opportunity in the workplace. In 2017 The government-sponsored Race in the Workplace: The McGregor-Smith Review found that Black, Asian, Mixed Race, and other ethnically diverse people staff still encounter significant disparities in employment and progression and that greater progress and positive outcomes are needed to ensure all organisations benefit from the wealth of diverse talent on offer.
No, the signing of the Race at Work Charter is open to all organisations irrespective of membership or size.
Signing the Race at Work Charter is free of charge.
