A staggering 98% of Black employees in the UK have felt compelled to tone down their identity to fit in at work, according to a recent study titled ‘Black British Voices’.
The study, conducted by The Voice and Cambridge University, highlights the issue of identity compromise within the workplace, with experts suggesting that these environments may be hostile for Black workers, impacting their mental health.
The findings come amid mounting concerns over discrimination related to Afro hair at work.
A separate survey by World Afro Day revealed that 84% of employers insisted on straight hair for women "in all circumstances."
