Namely Releases First Workplace Diversity Report 2018, Uncovering Inequalities in the Modern Workplace and Empowering HR to Make a DifferenceNEW YORK, June 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Namely, the leading HR platform for mid-sized companies, today unveils its Workplace Diversity Report 2018. The groundbreaking report examines data from over 175,000 employees to understand the state of diversity and inclusion in the modern workplace. To enable companies with ongoing access to their own diversity insights, the Namely platform now also includes access to a Diversity Dashboard, empowering HR to make a positive impact in their own organizations. Key among the report's findings is the prevalence of the "similar-to-me" bias. While diverse teams are known to be more productive and even more profitable, managers are most likely to manage employees of the same ethnicity. Instead of an organizational melting pot, hiring patterns lead to homogeneous teams. This trend appears not only through the lens of ethnicity, but also in terms of gender: Nearly 80% of male employees report to men, and over 50% of women report to women. The least common reporting structure is for a male employee to report to a female manager. Additional findings include:
To enable HR professionals to address diversity and inclusion head-on, Namely is unveiling its all-new Diversity Dashboard, which provides point-in-time reporting, data visualizations, and exportable tables that break down workforces by age, gender, and ethnicity.

Through a wide-range of customizable filters, companies are able to gain valuable insights into their organization's makeup and drive strategy.
