Creating more equitable workplaces will have huge benefits for both society and business.
The BCC wants to help SMEs adapt the way they operate to make it easier for people from diverse talent pools to access jobs and progress in their careers.
That’s why we convened a Workplace Equity Commission. We brought together an amazing panel, comprising Chamber CEOs, businesses, and experts from across civic society.
The Commission defines ‘workplace equity’ as creating a level playing field for individuals, recognising that we do not all start from the same place and that adjustments may be required to provide fair access to opportunity.

Boosting Opportunity and Realising Potential
Access to a skilled, engaged and productive workforce remains a top priority for business.
During the past year, the Workplace Equity Commission has sought to understand the challenges and opportunities for SME employers in creating equitable workplaces.
To improve individual’s prospects, boost business success and drive economic growth, we have set out in our report a five-point plan on how the government and employers can take action.
