Agencies and “diversity advisors” in the formulation of company policy.
Although companies for many years have generally shown reluctance in acknowledging the level of discrimination and racism in the workplace, those in France have tackled the issues in an apparently endogenous and voluntary way since the beginning of the 2000s by regarding anti-discrimination approaches as the “promotion of diversity”. The purpose of this article is to examine the practical realities behind the promotion of diversity by way of a survey conducted in companies, business organisations and employment agencies. In particular, the article shows that the policies operated by companies, especially in terms of ethno-racial discrimination, have relied heavily on external bodies such as recruitment agencies, voluntary organisations and expert advisors, to instigate and provide the substance. It also analyses the raison d'être and the modus operandi of these bodies, using a double hypothesis in relation to the persistence of a denial phenomenon and a prevailing, assimilationist normativeness which has maintained, even reproduced a discriminatory rhetoric and rationale.
