The third Whitehall Monitor webinar – the final in a three-part series exploring the IfG’s annual flagship report on the civil service – took a deeper look at the people who make up the civil service workforce, including diversity and morale, and considers the crucial role of, and challenges facing, civil service leadership today.

The webinar featured:

  • Heloise Dunlop, Researcher at the Institute for Government and co-author of Whitehall Monitor 2026
  • Tom Fitzlucas, People and Change Expert at PA Consulting
  • Jack Worlidge, Senior Researcher at the IfG and co-author of Whitehall Monitor 2026

The event was chaired by Alex Thomas, Executive Director for Impact and Influence at the IfG.

Whitehall Monitor 2026, the IfG’s annual data-led assessment of the size, shape and performance of the civil service, examines how the workforce changed in 2025.

We would like to thank PA Consulting for kindly supporting this event.
