Reducing Intersectional Bias in Recruitment Toolkit
When it comes to securing good work, jobseekers from lower socioeconomic backgrounds often find themselves at a disadvantage. Compounded by an intersection of other factors, such as gender and race. Though some businesses are making progress in their approach to social mobility, many haven’t yet started to consider how an individual’s different characteristics and experiences can intersect to create new and additional barriers.
This toolkit draws on YouGov survey insights from jobseekers to identify which employer actions will have the greatest impact in supporting people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who face intersectional barriers, into work.
Download this toolkit to:
- Understand how intersectionality across ethnicity, age, gender and disability affects jobseekers.
- Hear directly from focus group participants about the barriers they face.
- Receive recommendations on how to make the recruitment process more inclusive and accessible.
