Be Inclusive Hospitality has launched a report setting out steps to improve fairness and inclusion across the hospitality sector, with a focus on race and ethnicity.
The Better Hospitality report found that 57.3% of respondents believed high employee turnover was a direct result of unfairness and exclusion.
More than a third (38%) said unfairness and exclusion contributed directly to people leaving the hospitality industry.
51.1% said their employers took little or no meaningful action on fairness and inclusion.
21.1% from ethnic minority backgrounds believed they had been overlooked for career progression because of their identity.
This compared with 6.4% of white respondents.
The report set out six priorities covering data, resources, training, representation, policy and collaboration.
Data was listed as the first priority to help employers understand their workforce, identify disparities and track the impact of their actions.
