Majority of African Heritage Gen Z professionals change their names on job applications to enhance the possibility of recruitment success
A new study has found half of black and majority of LGBTQ Gen Z people in Britain feel they are 'unable to be themselves' at work. It comes as part of the largest research study into the experiences of Black Gen Z's in the workplace in the UK, #ThisIsBlackGenZ Research Report 2023.
The report went on to reveal that ‘code-switching’ is a reality for many Black Gen Z people. More than four in five African Heritage Gen Z share that they change their names or accents within the job application process in a bid to enhance the possibility of recruitment success. The in depth look at colourism provided the report with a range of further findings based on specific skin tones. Analysing the data on colourism, it was found that darker-skinned women are least likely to feel comfortable being themselves during an interview, whereas darker-skinned men were found to feel the most comfortable among male Black Gen Z.
One of the standout revelations from the report is the shift in workplace preference. Contrary to the popular notion that younger generations prefer a fully remote working environment, the report showcases a clear inclination towards hybrid or back-to-office models by Gen Z professionals, with 100% remote working discovered as the generation's least favourite way of working.
"It's clear that businesses are still not quite hitting the mark on building supportive workforces where all can thrive. After the success of the inaugural report, this year we decided to shed awareness on intersectionality, because everyone has different aspects of their identity affecting their experience.
