The Women in Defence UK and Women in Defence Charter's joint insight and data report 2024 is here! The report delivers groundbreaking insights on gender equity in the defence sector. As a proud signatory, Envitia is committed to supporting Women in Defence's mission to accelerate gender equity for all genders. This report sheds light on key themes shaping inclusive workplaces and highlights crucial steps for retaining talent across demographics. Here are some of the most impactful takeaways 💡 - Flexibility matters: It’s a top factor in employee retention across all demographics, from working dads to Queenagers and Gen Z. - The motherhood penalty accounts for 80% of the gender pay gap: Rethinking the parental paradigm with inclusive leave policies supports all parents. - Queenagers’ impact is invaluable: These experienced professionals are cultural role models and advocates for a meaningful, balanced work experience. ✨ Some inspiring findings ✨ - Female representation has reached 25%, a near 1% increase, aligning with their 30% by 2030 goal. - Nearly two-thirds of organisations have improved female representation, with the Civil Service now at 43% and Armed Forces at 31%. - 36% of senior Civil Service roles are now held by women, while a promising 18% of women in the Armed Forces are filling command roles, nearly closing the gender gap. At Envitia, we’re proud to contribute to these insights and drive meaningful change in our industry.
