Bristol hosts diversity workshop

Race for Opportunity, an initiative run by Business in the Community, hosted a Caribbean breakfast in Bristol on Wednesday 16th November to explore the business case for workplace diversity.

Race for Opportunity runs an annual national benchmarking exercise, in which companies self-assess their community involvement and multi-cultural engagement. In 2004, 113 organisations, representing 1.6 million employees, told Race for Opportunity what they have done to create a racially inclusive workforce.

The Caribbean breakfast provided an opportunity for companies to see how they can engage with ethnic minority audiences and find out more about the Race for Opportunity Benchmark. Speakers from Bank of Ireland, UnumProvident, BBC and Avon Fire & Rescue explained how the Race for Opportunity benchmark has helped them to connect with all their stakeholders.
