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 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. 

UK Gender Pay Gap 

Creating an environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive remains central to Leidos’ mission and culture. We continue to demonstrate this commitment through our shared values, inclusive working practices, and ongoing investment in our people. During 2024, Leidos UK strengthened its position as a trusted partner through growth in emerging areas including maritime and big data programmes, while maintaining strong employee retention levels of 92%.

Throughout the year, we introduced new initiatives designed to support colleagues at every stage of their careers and personal lives. These included the launch of annualised hours to support colleagues approaching retirement, alongside a new flexi-time practice developed in response to employee feedback on flexible working. Both initiatives reflect our continued focus on creating a workplace where employees can achieve greater choice, balance, and opportunity.

Our 2025 report shows a small increase in both the mean and median gender pay gap, largely influenced by the gender balance across our business. While we recognise there is more work to do, we remain fully committed to improving representation at every level of the organisation and delivering against our action plan. Encouragingly, 10% of our workforce received promotions during the year, with almost equal representation of men and women among those promoted. We also continued investing in upskilling across areas such as AI and emerging technologies to support long-term career development opportunities for all employees.

We are also encouraged by the progress made in our bonus practices, with a significant reduction in the mean bonus gap following the introduction of a broader bonus award scheme recognising high performers across the business. In addition, the proportion of male and female employees receiving a bonus remained almost equal.

Looking ahead, we will continue building on our inclusive culture through enhanced flexible working, fair and equitable reward practices, outreach and engagement initiatives, and continued investment in mentoring and skills development. We remain focused on creating an environment built on dignity, respect, collaboration, and opportunity for everyone at Leidos UK.
