One of the goals outlined in my Department's current Statement of Strategy is to continue to develop a highly skilled, diverse and gender-balanced workforce. My Department is committed to supporting a positive working environment for all staff, one that provides equality of opportunity and supports work-life balance.
My Department has had an active gender balance initiative in place since 2011, which has conducted a number of reviews and developed an action plan to address the issue through its HR Strategy and in consultation with staff. In addition, gender balance is a key commitment of the Civil Service Renewal Plan and my Department has been active in progressing initiatives in this area as part of a whole of Government approach.
The table below shows the number of women and men currently employed by my Department as on 23/05/22. (Please note the data provided does not include temporary staff, staff seconded out or staff on a long term leave of absence.):
