These findings and the insights from our Race at Work surveys led BITC to create the Race at Work Charter\, with 85 founding signatory organisations committed to improving equality of opportunity in the workplace.

We will be sharing some fresh insights and updated evidence on trends linked to the Race at Work Charter captured within our most recent Leadership\, Employees\, and Procurement survey\, with YouGov in June 2024.

It is key to future productivity and performance. Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse staff still encounter significant disparities in employment and progression*.

These findings and the insights from our Race at Work surveys led BITC to create the Race at Work Charter\, with 85 founding signatory organisations committed to improving equality of opportunity in the workplace. This charter now has more than 1100 signatories. \nFind out more about BITC鈥檚 work on race equality. \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact jessica.hart@bitc.org.uk\, Events Coordinator at BITC for more information.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\n\n\nReferences\n*91视频官网入口 in the Community (2021) Race at Work 2021 Scorecard Report URL:/event/race-at-work-charter-surgery-april-2025/ LOCATION:Online event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/30bf09937971025dc3c106bc9d893863.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250408T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250408T130000 DTSTAMP:20250205T044634 CREATED:20240419T143554Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241212T142030Z UID:10000455-1744113600-1744117200@www.bitc.org.uk SUMMARY:Let's Care Together - Programme Introduction (for Employers) DESCRIPTION:This webinar is for employers and wellbeing leads to introduce our new virtual befriending initiative to support carer鈥檚 wellbeing. \n\n\n\nAudience \n\n\n\nThis is a virtual event open to employers\, wellbeing leads and employee carer networks. \n\n\n\nBackground \n\n\n\n91视频官网入口 in the Community (BITC) and leading healthcare provider Simplyhealth\, have come together to co-create the聽Let鈥檚 Care Together聽programme. \n\n\n\nResearch shows that unpaid carers have worse wellbeing outcomes than non-carers\,聽and are likely to be time-poor due to their caring responsibilities*.

We will also highlight the exciting opportunities with phase two of the Diverse and Inclusive Supply Chains project to advance the impact of inclusivity across your supply chain and organisational culture. \n\n\nAbout the Race at Work Charter\nThe Race at Work Charter is seven calls to action to ensure fairness and equality so that ethnically diverse employees are represented at all levels in an organisation. The actions include: \n\nAppoint an Executive Sponsor for race. Capture ethnicity data and publicise progress.\nCommit at board level to zero tolerance of harassment and bullying.\nMake clear that supporting equality in the workplace is the responsibility of all leaders and managers.\nTake action that supports Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse people鈥檚 career progression.\nSupport race inclusion allies in the workplace.\nInclude Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse-led enterprise owners in supply chains.\n\nLearn more about BITC鈥檚 Race at Work Charter. \n\n\n91视频官网入口 in the Community鈥檚 work on race equality\nBITC is working to ensure all employees feel they belong\, have a voice\, are valued and can be their true selves. \nFor 30 years\, BITC has been campaigning and helping organisations to ensure Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and ethnically diverse employees are represented at all levels. \nAll organisations want to recruit from the widest talent pool and help successful applicants progress. It is key to future productivity and performance. Black\, Asian\, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse staff still encounter significant disparities in employment and progression*. The government-sponsored Race in the workplace: The McGregor-Smith Review found that greater progress and positive outcomes are needed to ensure all organisations benefit from the wealth of diverse talent and tap into the potential economic boost to the UK economy of 拢24bn annually by tackling racial disparities in the workplace and labour market . These findings and the insights from our Race at Work surveys led BITC to create the Race at Work Charter\, with 85 founding signatory organisations committed to improving equality of opportunity in the workplace. This charter now has more than 1100 signatories. \nFind out more about BITC鈥檚 work on race equality. \n\n\nBooking\, contact details and further information\n\nContact jessica.hart@bitc.org.uk\, Events Coordinator at BITC for more information.\nFull joining instructions will be sent before the event.\n\n\n\nReferences\n*91视频官网入口 in the Community (2021) Race at Work 2021 Scorecard Report URL:/event/race-at-work-charter-surgery-may-2025/ LOCATION:Online event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/30bf09937971025dc3c106bc9d893863.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
