What is the Parker Review?
What It Means - and How to Stay Compliant
The Parker Review is a UK framework to increase ethnic diversity in business leadership. It sets expectations for FTSE 100, FTSE 250, and the UK’s largest private companies to appoint at least one ethnic minority board member and to set targets for senior leadership diversity by 2027.
Clusivity helps your company track, report, and stay on course – all through Workforce Metrics.
The Problem
The targets are clear. The process? Not always.
Whether you’re tracking board composition or setting a 2027 leadership target, collecting and reporting diversity data can be a challenge — especially if systems are scattered or out of date. Common issues:
That’s where Workforce Metrics comes in built for clarity, speed, and compliance.
Incomplete or inconsistent ethnicity data
Uncertainty about UK-specific reporting requirements
Difficulty showing progress over time
What You Need to Submit
Here’s what’s expected, based on your company type:
FTSE 100 (deadline met, monitor annually)
-
One ethnic-minority director already in place
-
UK senior-leadership target for 2027
-
Board & leadership data
FTSE 250 (deadline: 31 Dec 2024)
One ethnic-minority director
UK senior-leadership target for 2027
Annual progress report
FTSE 250 (deadline: 31 Dec 2024)
One ethnic-minority director
UK senior-leadership target for 2027
Annual progress report
All senior-management figures must be UK-only — a filtering headache Workforce Metrics handles automatically.
