KPI: Women applicants who gain roles with TfW
The percentage of women applicants who are successful in acquiring a TfW role. We are working to build a diverse team that mirrors the communities we serve.
Overview
The percentage of women applicants who gained roles with TfW increased significantly in Q1 2025/26 when compared to Q1 2024/25. We launched our first Careers Returners Programme this quarter which has had a positive impact in attracting more women applicants, and enabling women to gain roles with TfW.

4. A More Equal Wales
5. A Wales of Cohesive Communities
Forward look
We are determined to be one of Wales’s leading inclusive employers by representing the diverse communities we serve in our workplace. We will continue to work with our community partners to advertise on their job boards and extend the reach of our advertising campaigns. We are also launching our Routes into Employment pathways schemes that will be providing placement opportunities to diverse groups and women.
KPI: Colleague retention
The percentage of TfW colleagues who remained with TfW during the year. We monitor this in conjunction with why TfW colleagues leave the organisation so we can devise initiatives to increase employee retention. This will drive better performance, improve our business outcomes and reduce the risk of negative business performance.
Overview
In Q1 2025/26, Colleague Retention has remained stable. As last year, colleagues benefited from internal leadership programmes and secondment opportunities with Welsh Government and Network Rail. The main reasons for colleagues leaving TfW were resignation and retirement.
Q1 2024/25 98.2% | Q1 2025/26 98.2% |
