Supporting the Women in Defence Charter to develop a balanced workforce

As part of our ongoing commitment to building and supporting a gender-balanced workforce across the Capita defence sector, we’re proud to have signed the Women in Defence Charter on 31st October 2024.

With an ambition to achieve 30% female representation by 2030, the Charter brings together organisations from across the UK’s defence sector who are committed to being the very best at driving inclusion and diversity within their organisations, whilst providing fair opportunities for women to succeed at all levels.

At Capita we’re committed to representing the diversity of the communities in which we live and work, at all levels of the business. Within the defence area and more broadly, having a balanced workforce is good for business, good for our customers, for profitability and workplace culture, for promoting prosperity and stability, and for showing everyone matters in building stronger and more peaceful communities.

I am absolutely delighted and proud to have signed the Women in Defence Charter and pledge Capita’s commitment to drive a more gender balanced environment across the defence sector and more broadly across the Capita business.
