Details

Part of the Civil Service Reform agenda, the Talent Action Plan introduces a series of new measures to ensure the Civil Service is among the most female-friendly employers in the country, and the most talented people succeed and reach the top positions, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexuality or disability.

Proposals include:

  • all-male shortlists for senior recruitment and all-male selection panels will only be allowed in exceptional circumstances
  • all departments will nominate board-level diversity champions, with the power to drive change
  • all Permanent Secretaries and Directors-General will mentor one or more junior employees
  • action to provide women with more tailored support before, during and after maternity leave.
