    Tackling Workplace Antisemitism: New Survey for British Jews

    Published on

    What’s happening

    A new survey has been launched by the Board of Deputies of British Jews, in partnership with the Jewish Leadership Council and Work Avenue, to evaluate the experiences of British Jews concerning antisemitism in workplaces. This initiative focuses on understanding antisemitism’s manifestations and impact, especially in light of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

    Why it matters

    The ongoing Israel-Hamas war has underscored the essential need to assess and counter workplace antisemitism. The survey aims to give a voice to British Jews, enabling them to report on personal encounters and help shape informed strategies to combat antisemitism. By collecting up-to-date data, Jewish communities can address the issue effectively and engage with decision-makers to foster supportive environments.

    Voices from the community

    Phil Rosenberg, President of the Board of Deputies, encourages maximum participation in the survey to ensure comprehensive data collection. This feedback is vital in understanding both overt and subtle forms of antisemitism faced by Jews in professional settings.

    Claudia Mendoza, CEO of the Jewish Leadership Council, emphasizes the survey’s role in fostering external alliances and creating actionable outcomes. This collaboration seeks commitment from senior leaders across industries to address and mitigate antisemitic behaviors within their organizations.

    The bigger picture

    The survey also addresses mental health implications linked to antisemitism related to the Israel-Hamas war, engaging with trade unions to foster inclusive workplaces. By identifying frequency and types of antisemitism post-conflict, Jewish organizations like Work Avenue, represented by CEO Debbie Lebrett, demonstrate a committed partnership to catalyze change.
