Women of colour more likely to be asked to 'clean-up' at work

Whilst no one employed for a specific skillset wants to have their working life reduced to cleaning duties, the findings have revealed that women of colour are more likely to be asked to clean-up or do admin tasks.

Data from a study of 3,000 engineers using a workplace experiences survey to measure racial and gender bias, found that women are 20% more likely than white men to be asked to clean up and 18% more likely to report doing admin tasks. 

Other menial tasks can range from being asked to shut doors to taking notes at meetings, ordering lunch or performing additional admin.
