Promotion roadblocks still exist for ethnic minority workers

According to recent research published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, low paid workers face restricted chances for promotion, and these problems are compounded for low paid workers who come from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Obstacles experienced by ethnic minority workers include stereotyping, lack of equality in access to development opportunities and lack of clarity about training opportunities.

Gina Netto, one of the report’s lead authors, said:

“Opportunities to progress to better paid jobs and to develop should be equally accessible to all employees It is important that organisations take steps to ensure that all levels of their workforce reflect the multi-ethnic nature of UK society.”
