Employee Voice Event

Beyond Rhetoric – what is really sustaining (or undermining) DEI in UK workplaces

The UK hasn’t seen loud contestations over DEI compared with the US, but the public narrative has been quietly reshaped. While many employers remain committed to DEI as both a moral and business imperative, others have faced increasing barriers when making the case for workplace inclusion.

In this Hub event we were joined by Dr Meenakshi Krishnan, Principal Research Fellow at IES, and explored:

  • What is actually sustaining inclusion and fairness in organisations right now?
  • How this intersects with increasing labour market pressures, economic volatility and the Employment Rights Act
