Services - Research
Ever since 1991, when we wrote the UK’s first business textbook on diversity, we have been dedicated to carrying out leading-edge research.
Often this research has been about identifying best practice across leading organisations in both the private and public sectors – and what they are finding is causing them to make progress. See our Business Of Diversity report (click on link below).
We have not shied away from challenging topics – such as the ground breaking research we carried out for the Employers Forum on Disability which showed that leading employers were actually in favour of new legislation (ahead of the Disability Discrimination Act) and the research for the Runnymede Trust on race in the FTSE 100.
The Global Diversity Network brings together a number of leading multinationals and provides a very fertile basis for research around leading practice in working on diversity and inclusion on a global basis.
In addition, from time-to-time clients wish to have their own research into best practice, legislative requirements or societal issues. Some of these may then inform articles or papers that we put into the public domain.

"I strongly welcome this report, which the Commission for Racial Equality has commissioned from Schneider-Ross. It acts as a progress report on tackling racial discrimination in Wales and provides the first reakl evidence of how public authorities are facing up to the challenges of the Race Relations (Ammendment) act 2000.
It provides clear and in some cases disturbing evidence of the problems we face, the benefits of addressing institutional racism and the areas where there is still a great deal to be done. This report demonstrates the real significance of mainstreaming racial equality and the General Duty in everything we do. It shows the need to deliver real outcomes on the ground and avoid getting caught up with the unnecessary paper chasing."
Sir Jon Shortridge KCB, Permanent Secretary, National Assembly for Wales."
