As part of the Talent Action Plan the commitments we will take forward include a critical talent review and to review our approach to maternity leave and returning to work. We have already introduced shared parental leave across the Civil Service and a new online job share portal to help people identify job share opportunities across the organisation.</p><p>From April 2017 we will be introducing new measures that require all organisations across the private, voluntary and public sector to regularly publish gender pay gap analysis and statistics, to bring greater transparency to pay disparities between men and women across the UK.</p><p>There is no central policy on moving civil servants between London and the regions. Departments determine their own workforce requirements and the Civil Service has significant UK-wide presence. Workforce planning is primarily the responsibility of each department to determine based on their individual operational and policy requirements.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer question first answered 16/11/2016 08:58:41 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
