The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) has prepared this report as part of the legal requirement for public authorities to publish their gender pay gap on an annual basis. Our report is also in line with the recommendations made from the Inclusive Data Taskforce report published in September 2021.
DCMS continues to manage its workforce to ensure there is a good gender balance at all levels of the organisation, and this latest report shows that we have now eliminated our median pay gap - the only government department to achieve this. The mean gap continues to fluctuate as our workforce changes - women are still over-represented at the most junior grade and this contributes to the gap in the mean.
Our latest action plan builds on our previous commitments and aims to continue to review and improve our recruitment policies and practices to ensure they promote diversity and inclusion, encourage more consistency in reward spend with greater transparency and actively manage the DCMS talent pipeline to ensure fair and equal outcomes in career progression.
