Suppliers working on contracts to regenerate London have been asked to provide extensive details about their workforces, right down to the number of transgender staff they employ.
The London Development Agency (LDA)? the mayor of London?s agency for business and jobs ? has written to its existing suppliers, including small- and medium-sized businesses, asking them to fill in a questionnaire designed to ?assist in developing… enterprises?.
Questions include the percentage of staff and company owners who are from black, Asian or minority ethnic (BME) groups and the percentage of disabled employees, as well as the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff.
