CLASSISM EXPERIENCED BY A THIRD OF UK EMPLOYEES

A third of UK employees say classism is active in their workplace, according to the 2022 Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace Report. 

Over the last year, 57 percent of employees had witnessed discrimination or a lack of inclusivity whilst at work.

The report was conducted by team building experts Wildgoose and surveyed employees from 133 UK workplaces. It asked if their workplace is an inclusive environment, what areas of diversity their organisation could improve upon, and whether they have experienced discrimination or inequality in the workplace.
