Diversity | Which industry is still 98% led by white men?

Diversity & Inclusion gets a lot of airtime these days. So much so that, on the surface of it, it can seem, with companies keen to advertise their support for diversity initiatives, that there’s not much more to be done – or, at the very least, that it’s all heading in the right direction.

There are internal diversity networks, diverse recruitment schemes – seeking to include harder-to-reach individuals – and differentiated working practices to help employees with varying needs.

However, some industries still have abysmal diversity and inclusion rates at the highest levels – with the financial sector seemingly still guilty in that regard.
