To find out to what extent employers recognise the business case for diversity, how they interpret this and what motivates them to take action, the CIPD carried out a survey to collect information about the activities taking place in UK organisations.
This report features the first findings from the survey and initial observations about the implications. It looks at:
- the drivers for diversity management
- diversity management policy and practice
- diversity professionals as agents of change
- key implications and challenges for driving diversity progress.
A full analysis of this research, entitled Diversity in business: a focus for progress, was published in 2007.
