Social mobility: the hidden diversity challenge?
Socio-economic background has the strongest effect on an individual’s career progression, compared to any other diversity characteristic, according to recent research from KPMG and the Bridge Group.* Discussions that cover topics in diversity have highlighted the challenges facing the digital sector to make it more representative, but these discussions have neglected the area of socio-economic status. As an employer, it’s crucial to understand the challenges faced by individuals from low socio-economic backgrounds when securing jobs in the tech and digital sector.
