Tackling structural racism within the tax sector
9.35-10.15
BST
Racism is an enduring problem within the tax sector, with a distinct lack of representation of minorities in senior positions. Recent research conducted by ITR of 26 law firms across 12 jurisdictions showed very few individuals who could be identified as Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME). Even at the associate level, BAME individuals accounted for less than a quarter of employees. This session will look at what steps are needed to tackle structural racism in the tax sector and how companies can support their employees who are facing racial discrimination within the workplace.
