Key Findings:
55% of European employees believe their company effectively implements DE&I policies, indicating a significant disconnect between policy and practice.
76% of the workforce weighs a company's commitment to DE&I heavily in their job acceptance decisions, highlighting DE&I's essential role in attracting talent.
A mere 30% of European employees feel their companies' internal communications are unbiased and inclusive, underscoring the critical need for transparency and inclusivity in internal messaging to foster a culture of trust and belonging.
Furthermore, 53% of European employees report not feeling their voices are heard within the workplace, pointing to a significant area for improvement in communication and inclusivity.
23% of European workers are actively looking for a new job outside the company.
70% of European workers believe that the company’s sustainability practices are important and well-implemented.
61% of Europeans are concerned about the negative impact of AI on their job.
Employees who perceive their workplace policies as not inclusive are twice as likely to be actively looking for new employment opportunities elsewhere. This statistic underscores the importance of not only establishing DE&I policies but ensuring they are tangibly felt and beneficial to the workforce, impacting both employee satisfaction and retention significantly.
Tim Glowa, CEO and Founder of HRbrain.ai, asserts, "The insights from our comprehensive study serve as a clarion call for HR leaders and executives across Europe. The path forward involves a committed, actionable approach to DE&I that transcends mere policy to affect real change within the organizational culture. HRbrain.ai stands ready to assist companies in navigating these challenges, leveraging our AI-powered solutions to foster a more equitable and inclusive work environment.”
