It’s that time again on the HR Room Podcast for another one of our C-suite specials, where we talk to leaders in various industries and organisations, sharing advice and insights for HR teams and employers everywhere. Bank of Ireland, in partnership with Morgan McKinley, recently published a new report titled "Fostering Ethnic Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace." The research explores the specific barriers ethnic minority groups face in accessing employment and progressing in the Irish labour market, with some data points and practical recommendations for employers. It’s based on the experiences of over 2,700 people across 10 ethnic minority groups. And against the backdrop of current issues in wider society, and current issues faced by organisations and employees, this survey is one that simply must be looked at by HR teams and employers everywhere. And to talk us through it, we’re delighted to be joined again by Matt Elliott, Chief People Officer at Bank Of Ireland.
