The plan sets out the ambition under key themes which includes recruitment and selection, talent and progression, inclusive culture and social mobility.<\/p> As part of the Talent Action Plan the commitments we are taking forward include a critical talent review. 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. We have also reviewed our approach to maternity leave and returning to work.<\/p>"}
