Race at Work – key findings UK workplaces might be comfortable talking about age and gender, but are less comfortable talking about race It is clear employers need to have more confidence to address the issue of race at work and aim to understand how it has an impact on the individual and their opportunity to reach their full potential. This finding was consistent across all age profiles of those surveyed. Business in the Community www. bitc. org. uk
