Celebrating the joint winners of the Commissioners’ Mark of Excellence

The First Civil Service Commissioner, Baroness Gisela Stuart, hosted the joint winners of the Commissioners’ Mark of Excellence at the House of Commons on 6th March.

The Home Office won for their strategic approach to recruiting more women into frontline roles and outstanding work to support external candidates at different stages of the recruitment process.

They shared first place with the Government Digital and Data Function whose innovative regional tech partnerships helped secure senior digital talent on secondment to contribute to the work of Government.

Baroness Gisela Stuart said:

‘We want to celebrate and share the success of hiring teams that go the extra mile to attract external talent into civil service roles.

“The Home Office and Government Digital Services entries impressed our judging panel with innovative new approaches, demonstrating just what is possible within the ‘fair, open and on merit ’ principles for appointment into the Civil Service. 

“It was a real pleasure to meet the teams and hear more about what they did and the benefits they are seeing in their departments.’
