Third of UK employees witness racism at work

Almost half of minority workers admit they don't feel like valued members of their teams, according to a new survey.

The charity Business in the Community revealed that 55% of black, Asian and minority (BAME) workers feel like they are appreciated at work. That is compared to 71% of white workers who felt that they were valued members of their teams.

The charity interviewed more than 24,000 people for the survey. It was pulled from an open online questionnaire, which included 18,000 people and from a YouGov survey which polled 6,000 people.

The charity also revealed that 33% of workers who have experienced or witnessed racial harassment in at work have done so in the past year, the BBC reported.
