The RFC uses data-driven techniques to tackle organisational weaknesses within firms that unfairly hold back black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) employees. It was devised by Rare, a diversity recruitment specialist.
The 12 firms are Baker McKenzie, Bird & Bird, Burges Salmon, BWB, Clyde & Co, Dechert, Fieldfisher, Gowling, Mishcon De Reya, Stephenson Harwood, Taylor Wessing, and Withers. Their commitment includes monitoring pay and promotion rates, ensuring race and racism is talked about in induction and exit interviews, and fostering an inclusive workplace where BAME people can be themselves at work.
Rare founder Raph Mokades said: ‘Change doesn’t happen overnight, but tangible, measurable initiatives such as this empower firms to make a real difference within their organisations.’
