A fifth of Irish workers have turned down a job because of a lack of diversity

Majority of employees want their employers to take a stance on diversity and inclusion issues such as Black Lives Matter

A third of Irish workers said they’d like to see more women in their workplace while a quarter would like to see more individuals over 50 years of age.

The majority of Irish workers want their employers to take a stance on diversity and inclusion issues such as Black Lives Matter, while two in five Irish professionals believe their organisation would benefit from becoming a more ethnically diverse workplace.

That’s according to new research from recruitment firm Hays Ireland, which also found a fifth of Irish workers have turned down a job because they didn’t feel the organisation was a pro-diversity and inclusive employer.
