Barclays’ gender diversity strategy focuses on driving change, advocating for gender equity and building an inclusive culture. Representation of women in their global workforce has remained level at 45% overall since 2021. At middle and senior level, it was at 36% and 30% respectively (ending 2023). The company continues to progress towards the ambition of 33% representation of women in senior leadership roles by the end of 2025.
Empowering women colleagues – Barclays has made investments in training, mentoring, networking and wellbeing programmes to ensure growth and development of their women colleagues. They have learning programmes such as Launchpad, Women in Leadership, Pioneer, Aspire, Women in Technology and more, designed to empower women across grades. Win, the gender resource group exists to encourage, inspire and support women in achieving their career goals and potential at Barclays. The Gender Steering Committee also works closely with Win to look at Women’s Health.
Barclays’ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategy aims to cultivate a supportive culture where individuals from all backgrounds feel represented and valued. This strategy is anchored in six intersectional agendas: disability, gender, LGBT+, multicultural, multigenerational, and socio-economic inclusion.
Colleague networks play a vital role by fostering communities and enhancing belonging. With over 24,000 employees involved in Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), these networks help address the unique challenges faced by diverse groups and provide valuable insights into employee sentiment.
The ""Your View"" surveys further gauge employee experiences, focusing on aspects such as Values and Mindset, including a ‘speak up’ culture. One key metric, the Inclusion Index, reflects the effectiveness of these initiatives, showing a year-on-year increase of 1 percentage point, reaching 83% in the Autumn 2023 survey.
Through these efforts, Barclays demonstrates its commitment to an inclusive workplace that empowers all employees.
