‘We remain committed’ | BT scraps diversity targets from manager bonus scheme—but CEO opposes elimination of ED&I

BT will no longer include diversity measures on a scorecard it uses to determine manager bonuses, a Telegraph report has revealed.

The changes to the compensation strategy come despite Allison Kirkby, CEO of BT, doubling down on the company’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (ED&I).

The diversity measure on the bonus scorecard will instead include an employee engagement metric, with company shareholders reportedly in “strong support” of the new approach.

BT removes DEI measure from bonus scorecard

In recent years, managers at BT have been told to hit representation targets for women, ethnic minorities, and disabled employees on their teams.
