Freshfields adds socio-economic background to census questions

Comment

If your recruitment policy is based on a "best person for the job" mentality, surely "socio-economic" data is irrelavant and a complete waste of time and expense. Social mobility is about better education not quotas within employers. Diversity will naturally happen if every child has access to a top-class education - firms will still want to hire the best candidates. If "diversity and inclusion" officers are truely dedicated to diversity, they should resign from their non-jobs, go into education and allow firms to reinvest their salaries into practices. Just a thought...
