Diversity in the workplace brings a cross section of the community to an organisation and with it a valuable cross section of thinking, values and experiences. The Joint Economic Data Hub (JEDHub) Annual Economic report https://www.jedhub.org/ identifies key insights into workplace diversity in the defence community:
In 2021, 31.8% of graduates, and 27.1% of apprentices recruited in 2021 were female, up from 26.3% and 22.1% indicating growth in this area.
20.5% of surveyed defence full-time employees identified as Female and 79.2% identified as Male.
5% of surveyed defence full-time employees who responded to the survey identified as Asian or Other.
93% of surveyed defence full time employees who responded to the survey identified as White.
