Gender representation

57.2% of our workforce are women, this is an increase from 56.6% in 2021.

42% of our Senior Civil Servants are women, this is an increase from 39.8% since 2021.

Whilst we still have more to do to achieve an equal gender balance at senior grades, we are pleased with our trajectory in making year-on-year improvements to the proportion of women in the workforce.

Figure 1 shows the breakdown of women and men across all grades for March 2022.
