Civil Servants: Performance Related Pay

Asked by John GlenConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 30 July 2024UIN 1211

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the written ministerial statement of 14 May 2024, HCWS464, on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in the Civil Service, what his policy is on linking civil servants' (a) pay, (b) promotions and (c) bonuses to meeting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion objectives.

Answered by Georgia Gould

There is no requirement to explicitly link pay, promotion, or bonus payments to performance against equality, diversity and inclusion objectives within the Civil Service.

The end of year performance assessment process assesses Senior Civil Servant’s delivery against a number of management objectives, including finance, business delivery, and people and capability which considers delivery against the Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2022-25.
