Deloitte's professional services recently reported that the company pays black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) employees in the UK 12.9 percent less on average per hour compared to white staff members.

According to The Independent, the multinational company said on Wednesday that the divide is due to the lower proportion of people of color holding the most senior positions at Deloitte – the same factor in the firm's issues with the gender pay gap. People of color only make up 18 percent of Deloitte's workforce in the UK and less than 5 percent of its senior positions. According to Deloitte, the median pay gap is 8.7 percent, and the median pay gap for bonuses for POC  34.7 percent.

Like most large companies, Deloitte recognizes the issue and has pledged to make an effort when it comes to diversity and inclusion. The company said it's aiming for 10 percent of its partners to be POC by 2021. It's also working toward having at least one person of color as a member of its executive group and on each of its business leadership teams.

“Our focus on providing a culture and environment where everyone can be themselves, thrive, develop and succeed is starting to have a positive impact,” said Emma Codd, managing partner for talent at Deloitte in the UK. “While today’s pay gap report demonstrates that there is still some way to go, we are fully committed to achieving the balance we should have through targeted actions alongside our continued focus on providing an inclusive culture."

Just a few months ago, white men employees felt left out of Deloitte's diversity groups so they decided to include them. But we'll see how their journey to inclusion turns out for the corporation.
