One of the ways you improve your diversity stats is by making sure you hang on to BME staff - provided they're good at the job.

Stats released in response to an FoI inquiry show, thankfully, that the percentage of black/ethnic minority staff made redundant in 2014 was 7% - below the BBC workforce recruitment target of 14.2%. But the number resigning stands at 16% of total leavers, which ain't so good. The symbol s40.2 means the number is withheld because it's small - which means very few women were made redundant. But women outnumber men in the resignation tally.
