The Mayor wants all employers to access top talent and build workforces that reflect the diversity that London has to offer. Yet we know that specific groups face structural barriers when it comes to recruitment, retention and progression at work.

This Workforce Data Equality Guide provides practical, step-by-step guidance on how to collect, analyse and act on equalities data in your organisation. Whilst many employers understand the significant benefits of a diverse workforce, we know it can be challenging to develop the evidence-based interventions needed to make this a reality.

The Guide is for senior leaders, HR teams and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion leads at every stage of their workforce data journey. It is applicable to businesses of every size, with in-depth advice on the unique challenges and opportunities different types of businesses face.

The guidance aims to build confidence and understanding in how to take an intersectional approach to data, including the best ways in which to cut data. It should be navigated using the ‘Workforce Data Journey’ outlined in the guidance which lays out a five-point plan to manage your organisation’s approach to workforce data collection, analysis, and action.
