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.
