Workplace Equality Report 2021 – Phase 2

10th November:
- Incidence of workplace discrimination up 20% on last year survey finds
- Glass ceiling exists for women, says 74% of respondents
- Fewer opportunities for ethnic minorities say 60% of Ireland’s workers
- More than two-thirds say ageism is an issue

Despite the huge numbers working remotely over the past 18 months, results from the Matrix Recruitment Workplace Equality Survey highlighted that 46% of workers have experienced some form of workplace discrimination (compared to 38% in 2020).

Now in its fourth year, the 2021 survey of more than 1,100 adults covers a wide range of workplace issues including discrimination, racism, gender pay gaps, and the pandemic’s impact on the world of work.
