Outdated attitudes and employment practices mean the sport is failing to retain staff, according to report by Women In Racing
The horse racing industry is failing some of those who love it and depleting its own workforce through outdated working practices and attitudes towards motherhood, according to a report published this weekend. ‘Racing Home’ is the work of Women in Racing and concludes the industry is suffering from a “leaky pipeline” of employees who reluctantly leave on finding it impossible to continue their role after having children.
