Workforce Demographics

Leidos recognizes that people are the foundation of everything that we do. We utilize strong workforce data analytics and participate in benchmarking studies to understand industry trends, meet our people goals, and continuously develop practices that deliver results for our customers as well as attract, develop and retain our employees. 

Transparency

We publish our workforce data demographic data—by race and ethnicity, education, veteran status, age and gender, on a yearly basis. Education, veterans status, and gender are provided for our international workforce and ethnicity is provided for our US workforce. In 2020 we began publishing our EEO-1 Reports. This commitment to greater transparency holds us accountable year over year and is critical to understanding our progress against our 2030 Next Level Leidos ESG Goals.

UK Gender Pay Gap 

In March of 2022, our UK operations published the 2022 Gender Pay Gap report as required by the UK Government. The commitment to close the gender pay gap is high on the agenda of the Leidos UK Senior Leadership Team. The pandemic years have accelerated a huge shift in the way people work and their expectations of what a modern and future looking workplace should deliver. Technology and flexible working have been at the heart of these changes. During 2022 this was compounded by a surge in people from technology backgrounds moving between companies as an exponential demand for technology skills was accompanied by an increase in confidence and curiosity to experience new roles.

In 2022, our male to female split fluctuated marginally at 74.26% compared to 72.28% in 2021 with a slight increase in females employed at the middle manager level.

Our talented female workforce continues to flourish and, reflecting on the individual performance of 2022, 45% of women were rated either exceptional or strong. Female employees received over 52.4% of recognition awards during 2022. This is an increase of 20% from previous year. We are also pleased to announce that 35% percent of all promotions were amongst female employees in 2022, supporting our dedicated focus to celebrate the success of our diverse workforce.
