Values | 3 in 5 UK workers threaten to quit if employers rollback DEI

Employers who dilute their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies risk triggering a talent exodus, new research suggests.

A nationally representative study of 1,000 working adults by HR tech firm IRIS Software Group found that three in five (60%) of UK workers would consider quitting if their employer backtracked on DEI commitments. Two in five (39%) said they’d seriously consider leaving, while one in five (20%) said they would “certainly” walk.
