Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has told firms to focus on delivering for customers rather than “activism or political causes”.Ms Badenoch said some firms’ well-meaning “equality, diversity and inclusion” initiatives “divide, rather than unify”.
The polling indicated that 75% of people believe that companies should hire on merit, regardless of race or gender, instead of seeking to create a diverse team. “The public want the focus of business to be on delivering great products and services, not activism or political causes – which repel as many people as they attract.
Ms Badenoch said: “As the recent Inclusion at Work Panel showed, many well-meaning ‘equality, diversity and inclusion’ initiatives divide rather than unify, and undermine organisational goals.“Policy Exchange’s programme is a timely and welcome contribution to document the creeping – and counter-productive – politicisation of our business environment.
