近日，據瀚納仕的研究調查顯示，英國大多數（67％）的雇主認為其組織的多元化和包容性（D＆I）政策對于幫助他們吸引新人才至關重要。
瀚納仕還發現，這一調查結果也代表員工的看法。其中，70％的員工表示，這一政策對他們考慮新職位至關重要。
但是，盡管今年早些時候出現了由“黑人的命也是命（the Black Lives Matter）”運動而引發的全球影響，但來自13,500多名受訪者的調查結果表明，這并沒有導致D＆I在組織層面上的重點發生變化。
超過三分之二（70％）的雇主表示，類似于“黑人的命也是命”之類的運動并未改變其組織對D＆I的關注，而65％的員工也持同樣的觀點。瀚納仕發現，有33％的雇主表示D＆I在其組織中的重要性已經提高，這一看法僅有26％的雇員同意。
根據這項研究顯示，英國企業的員工在這一方面存在代際差異，年輕勞動力比勞動力老一代更加樂觀。
在Z世代（1995年以后）出生的受訪者中，超過三分之一（34％）認為諸如“黑人的命也是命”多樣性之類的運動使D＆I變得更為重要，而嬰兒潮一代（1940-1960年之間出生）的受訪者同意這一看法的僅為22％。
同時，有52％的雇主認為，雇主對D＆I的關注將在未來三個月內成為其組織的優先事項。 其中，中央政府（70％）、媒體（65％）和醫療保�。�63％）的雇主占比最高。相比之下，會計（32％）和制造業（28％）的雇主認為D＆I在接下來的三個月中將不再是重點。
瀚納仕平等、多元化和包容性部門負責人Yvonne Smyth表示：“令人鼓舞的是，我們的調查結果證實了D＆I政策的重要性已經被雇主意識到，并且得到了雇員的大力支持，對他們來說，這比以往任何時候都更重要�！�
UK - MAJORITY OF EMPLOYERS SAY D&I POLICIES ARE IMPORTANT IN ATTRACTING NEW TALENT
(Aug.24, 2020, /staffingindustry.com/)The majority,67%, of employers in the UK believe their organisation’s diversity and inclusion (D&I) policies are important to help them attract new talent, according to research from Hays.
Hays also found this is also the view of employees, 70% of whom say that these policies are important to them when considering a new role.
However, despite global momentum behind the Black Lives Matter movement earlier this year, the findings from over 13,500 respondents indicate that this has not led to a change in focus of D&I at an organisational level.
Over two thirds, or 70%, of employers say movements such as Black Lives Matter haven’t changed their organisation’s focus on D&I, echoed by 65% of employees. Hays found that 33% of employers say the importance of D&I in their organisation has increased, and even fewer employees (26%) agree.
According to the study, there are generational differences as findings show younger workers are more optimistic than older generations in the workforce.
Over a third (34%) of those born in Generation Z (after 1995) believe that movements such as Black Lives Matter diversity have made D&I more important, compared to 22% of Baby Boomers (born between 1940-1960).
Meanwhile 52% of employers think their employers’ focus on D&I will become more of a priority for their organisation in the next three months. This was highest among employers in central government (70%), media (65%) and healthcare (63%), compared to accountancy and manufacturing where it looks set to be less of a focus over the next three months (32% and 28% respectively).
Yvonne Smyth, Group Head of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Hays, said, “Encouragingly, our findings confirm that the importance of D&I policies is realised by employers and this is strongly backed up by employees, for whom it is more of a priority than it’s ever been. ”
