A diverse workforce is critical to the success of our mission to help keep the country safe.
We know there is still work to do to tackle our gender pay gap and we're already taking action, including increasing the number of women in senior positions and recruiting more women into technical roles.
Since 2018 we have increased the number of women in senior and technical roles through a number of development schemes aimed specifically at women. We've also increased the number of women as a proportion of our recruitment pipeline, including in technical roles.
But we can and will do more by continuing to improve our pay and reward mechanisms to address the pay gap and by supporting schemes that increase the development and progression of women at GCHQ.
