Abstract: This report presents the findings of a joint survey issued by The Board of Deputies of British Jews, The Jewish Leadership Council, and Work Avenue. The survey ran from 26 November 2024 to 8 January 2025 and garnered 427 responses. The intention of this research is to collate anecdotal evidence of the workplace experience of UK Jewry in a post-7 October 2023 world. The data presented is not statistically weighted, nor is it claiming to be scientifically representative, but it is a collection of the real life experiences of a minority group who - as this survey has found - feel both vulnerable and unsupported in the workplace. We would welcome the commissioning of further/academic research on this subject. In brief, this survey found patterns of exclusion, indifference and, in some cases, hostility experienced by Jews at work and in their Trade Unions in the UK. Whilst some respondents reported acts of empathy from individual colleagues or managers, reporting of structural efforts to address workplace antisemitism or to even acknowledge the need for specifically tailored inclusion initiatives were absent.
