Our survey of UK leaders and employees shows that when it comes to racial and cultural difference the workforce is far from united.
The Green Park Race Inclusion Gap Report is a review of three sentiment surveys conducted to assess workplace inclusion from the perspectives of leaders, white employees, and ethnically diverse employees.
Over 700 respondents participated in the survey, providing valuable insights into workplace inclusion. Their feedback, gathered from leaders, white employees, and ethnic minority employees, highlights key disparities in perception and experience.

The highest aim of any leadership should be to align their teams’ ambitions and behaviours. But alignment has to rest on a shared understanding of purpose and vision. Our survey of UK leaders and employees shows that when it comes to racial and cultural difference the workforce is far from united.
Addressing these differences is urgent. This report comes five years after the Black Lives Matter movement swept the world, and as the UK government launches a major legislative effort to update racial equality laws.
Our survey reveals – for the first time – a disturbing gulf in sentiment between the C-suite and many on the shop floor; and a deep division between white and non-white employees.
Since 2020 corporate leadership has prided itself on its effort to respond to racial diversity, yet minority employees now see their bosses as complacent in their mindset and tokenistic in their actions. Our largest enterprises show real progress towards integration at board and executive levels, yet the workforce is, if anything, more divided by race than ever.
The gaps revealed by this survey are strong indicators of critical corporate issues: employee flight risk, and productivty in particular, which vary strongly between different cultural and ethnic groups.
The racial inclusion gap could not be more important. It presents a major obstacle to the creation of a united, productive UK workforce. This report reveals both the breadth and depth of that gap and calls for action now.
