George Floyd's death | 'Still work to be done' for HR to improve racial equality

With today marking one year since the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, the topic of racial inequality has been thrown into the spotlight once again.

At the time of his death, perpetrated by now former-police officer Derek Chauvin, Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests around the world, calling for justice for Floyd, also highlighted racial inequality in both wider society and the world of business.

As a result of the protests, lots of employers were keen to interrogate their own approach to inequality within their organisations.

Many, at the time, keen to take to social media to either participate in the ‘Blackout Tuesday’ campaign or to show support and solidarity towards those campaigning for the rights of black people whilst also looking at their own talent pipelines or being more proactive about learning about racism and inequality.
