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.

UK Gender Pay Gap
Creating an environment that encourages people from all backgrounds to flourish is a cornerstone of Leidos' mission. We demonstrate this commitment through our shared values, behaviors, and mission-based work. As an employer, we celebrate inclusion, encouraging our employees to engage in activities that embed these values at the heart of our organization. This is exemplified by our seven Employee Resource Groups, including the Women's group, which significantly impacts our organizational culture. In 2023, we launched a return-to-work program, further reinforcing our dedication to inclusivity.
In 2024, Leidos UK experienced a 3% increase in core headcount, reflecting significant developments within our business portfolio. Our organizational growth has expanded our geographical footprint to include Australia, positioning us within a Commercial and International sector. This new baseline supports various commitments within our UK People Strategy, such as intentional mobility, personal career growth, and international collaboration.
Our 2024 report highlights progress in reducing the gender pay gap, though we acknowledge there is more work to be done. We remain focused on closing the gap within Leidos UK, striving for balanced gender representation across all business levels. Our efforts have been recognized not only in metrics but also through our visible commitment to inclusion, as evidenced by our achievement of the Inclusive Employer Standard Silver level. This energy and focus will persist through 2025 and beyond, as we continue to champion diversity and inclusion within our organization.
