OGUK Diversity & Inclusion Survey Report - April 2021

Introducing the UKCS D&I Index

executive summary change is accelerating key findings society as a guide for the future

In terms of job families, people in business roles generally score higher with regard to the D&I Index than those working in technical roles (7.3 versus 7.0), with the scores ranging from 7.6 for people in the HR job family to 6.5 for those in the Technician job family. The D&I Index score by type of company varied between 6.9 and 7.3. Mid-size companies (251-1,000 staff), scored lowest, lacking clear D&I targets and the ability to measure the impact of D&I in the organisation identified as the key gaps. In terms of age groups, the D&I Index score varied between 6.8 for the 31-40 age group to 7.7 for the over 61 age group. Particular challenges identified by the 31-40 age group centred around their organisation (including having clear D&I targets and measuring progress against the D&I targets) and around culture (including valuing their opinion and input and seeing diversity reflected in the leadership of their organisation). With around 50% of the UKCS workforce made up of Millennials (born between 1980-1995) and Gen Z (born between 1996-2012) the view of these communities will be increasingly important as the industry shapes the forward D&I agenda. In terms of religion, around 90% of the survey participants identified themselves as being Christian or having no religion. The D&I Index score for these two communities was both around 7.1. Unfortunately, insufficient survey data was available to assess a D&I Index score for the other religions.
