[New release] Cegos' 2025 Barometer on Diversity and Inclusion

66% employees have experienced discrimination during their career.

Cegos, international leader in Learning & Development, has released a new edition of its barometer on Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) within organisations.

Conducted in April and May 2025 across 10 countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, this study sheds light on how 5537 employees and 438 HR professionals perceive and experience diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

It explores their expectations, the progress made, and the challenges that persist in ensuring inclusive environments that drive both organisational cohesion and performance.

"The findings of this barometer clearly show that inclusive management cannot simply be declared. Beyond tools and frameworks, it requires actively cultivating attitudes and visible behaviors that inspire trust and embody a culture of inclusion on a daily basis. To truly embed inclusion in workplace culture, it is essential to strengthen the support provided to both managers and HR teams. These actors are on the front lines: they set the tone, embody values, and translate organizational commitments into concrete practices. But for this to happen, they need to be trained, equipped, and supported. Building skills around D&I is not a ‘nice to have’—it’s a strategic lever for shifting behaviors, improving workplace relationships, and creating environments that are genuinely open to all."
