Lexis®Library update: The taskforce’s roadmap sets out how employers can speed up progress and achieve equity of progression. The report includes the taskforce’s vision that 50% of senior leaders should come from a non-professional background by 2030.
The Law Society supports the five-point pathway of actionable steps that organisations of any size can take, alongside recommendations for the government, regulators and sector bodies who will support employers over the next seven years.
The key recommendations for employers included in the five-point pathway are:
• assign a senior leader responsible for socio-economic diversity
• collect data on employee socio-economic backgrounds within two years
• take action to increase socio-economic diversity at senior levels and monitor what works
• set targets based on data, considering the specific context, such as starting point, size, location, subsector
• publish data and what interventions have worked
The Taskforce’s report, ‘Breaking the Class Barrier Recommendations’, can be found here.
