2022 ANNUAL REPORT ON DIVERSITY IN THE WTO SECRETARIAT  
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.1.  This document presents the Annual Report on Diversity in the WTO Secretariat for the 
year 2022. It is the thirteenth Annual Report on Diversity prepared by the Secretariat.1 
1.2.  Like previous reports, the 2022 Annual Report provides detailed data on the composition of the 
WTO workforce as at 31 December 2022 by WTO Membership and on gender, as well as the evolution 
of staff diversity  by country and region  since 1995 . Trends  in staff turnover and composition of 
Secretariat members at Director -level since 1995  are also included . The report also includes 
information and data on staff recruitment  and gender balance including statistics on applications 
received, candidates interviewed, and number of appointments.  
1.3.  In order to improve diversity, outreach missions , such as career fairs,  have continued to take 
place virtually  and in person , and outreach has been extended  through specialized platforms . The 
WTO has re -commenced hiring all interns for work on premise s. and has ended the temporary 
practice of hiring interns outside the Geneva area to work remotely , which had been introduced  
during the pandemic . 
2  UPDATE ON THE SECRETARIAT'S ACTIONS TO CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVE DI VERSITY  
2.1.  The Se cretariat continues to  outline progress  made  on diversity based on the response to 
measures proposed in a Joint Statement by Brazil, China, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Pakistan , and 
South  Africa.2 Key commitments are to increase awareness of the principles of merit and diversity 
in the WTO recruitment process and to strengthen outreach activities with the aim of increasing the 
pool of highly qualified applicants from the full WTO Membership.  The WTO Yo ung Professional 
Programme , a one -year capacity building programme  launched in 2016 , aims at increas ing 
opportunities for nationals from underrepresented developing and least developed country Members  
to be exposed to WTO -related work . Seventy -one individu als from 58 members  have participated  in 
the Programme, including  those from 39  Members  not represented in the Secretariat.  
2.2.  In 2022 , Webinars on Diversity, Inclusion and Gender reinforced the importance of shared 
corporate values of inclusivity and respect. The workshop on "Diversity and inclusion through the 
eyes of Dr Martin Luther King Jr." as well as the first ever panel discussion  on discrimination, 
focussing on "Workplace Racism", addressed how racism may manifest itself, albeit unconsciously, 
in work environments and how to shift behaviour to ensure a more inclusive WTO Secretariat, free 
of racial microaggressions, both overt and  subtle. Staff participating in the program provided positive 
feedback, highlighting the importance of addressing workplace racism and their interest in hearing 
more stories about experiences, especially from individuals working in international organizati ons 
and/or individuals from non-Western economies.  
2.3.  Concerning Gender and Inclusion, emphasis was placed on supporting men as gender equality 
allies in the workplace. Laura Bates, founder of the "Everyday Sexism Campaign" , facilitated a

  webinar on male ally ship. The event addressed the manner in which boys and men are affected by 
gender stereotypes and explored the spectrum of gender equality across society. Examples were 
also provided of actions that can be taken by men to support women and to dismantle gen der 
stereotyping.  
2.4.  The WTO Framework on Gender Equality launched by the Director -General in December 2022 
was the culmination of a Gender and Equality audit undertaken that year. The Framework addresses 
four main areas , namely : (i) creating an enabling work  environment with a view to promoting gender 
equality in the WTO workforce; (ii) creating and maintaining a safe and inclusive work environment ; 
(iii) addressing gender gaps where they exist in the WTO Secretariat ; and (iv) establishing an 
inclusive workpl ace culture, free from gender bias and discrimination, including the support of work -
life balance initiatives, career development, and prevention of discrimination and harassment.  
2.5.  The Framework also highlights the importance of future mandatory training aimed at  
preventin g sexual harassment and overcoming gender biases.  To this end, panel discussions with 
the Head  of OIO and guest speakers , such as Dr Julia Shaw ( psychologist specialising in "false 
memories" and gender -based harassment) , will provide staff with insights on addressing sexual 
harassment and discrimination at work. Focus will be placed on understanding inappropriate 
workplace behaviour, reducing the barriers to reporting, and mobilising witnesses.  
3  TURNOVER IN RELATION TO DIVERSITY  
3.1.  The o verall turnover of staff in the WTO has been  traditionally low as illustrated in Chart 1. 
From 2001 to 2009, the average annual turnover was 4.4%.  Effective 1 January 2010,  the 
mandatory  retirement age for WTO staff changed from 62 to 65. This initially had a negative impact 
on turnover , but since 2013, the average turnover has increased  to 4.9%, mainly due to a rise in 
the number of retirements.  In 2022, the turnover increased to 5.1 %, as compared to 3.8% in 2021 . 
Approximately 50% of separations were due to retirements, 38% to resignations , and 12% to staff 
reaching the end of their fixed-term contract . 
Chart 1 WTO Staff T urnover from 2001 to 2022  
 
 
3.2.  Chart 2 below illustrates turnover by occupational groupi ng since 2007. Overall, turnover has 
generally been higher for professional staff, as was also the case in 2022. While t he comparatively 
significant turnover for support staff in 2015 was mainly due to retirements , the number of staff 
resigning from their positions increased over the last few years.

4  WTO STAFF BY MEMBER  
4.1.  Changes in the composition of WTO staff are typically not significant from one year to t he next  
given the relatively low turnover and stable overall staff numbers . As in the previous annual reports 
on diversity, staffing data (Annexes  1 to 5, and 7) is presented in  three main categories: (1) all 
staff, (2)  professional staff and (3 ) professional staff excluding linguistic staff. This categorization 
accounts  for the fact that a large percentage of support staff are hired in the local area and that 
staff in the langua ge area s (translators, interpreters , revisers ) are often drawn from Members with 
WTO official languages  – English, French , and Spanish . 
4.2.  In 2022, the number of nationalities  represented in the Secretariat totaled 90 (Annex 1 ). Since  
2017, for reporting  purposes, the Secretariat considers only the staff members' first nationality when 
hired, even if a staff member later acquire s Swiss or another  nationality , except when the first 
nationality is relinquished when  acquiring another  one. 
4.3.  Amongst  professional staff  (linguistic staff excluded) , 86 Members are represented  (Annex  3). 
The highest number of professional staff members  (12.3%)  comes from France , which,  together  
with Switzerland , is part of the local employment market from which many quali fied candidates 
apply . The United States of America ha s the second -highest share  of professional  staff (6%). 
4.4.  At the same time, a s shown in Chart 3, t he share of professional staff (linguistic staff excluded) 
represented b y developing countries and LDCs  increased from 21.6 % in January 1995  to 38.7%  in 
December 2022 (further percentages are shown in Annex 4). While  the percentage  of male staff 
members  from developed countries has decrease d (from 54.4% in 1995 to 32.6% in 2022), the 
percentage of female s from developed countries has increased  (from 24% in 1995 to 28.7% in 
2022). The percentages of both males and females  from developing countries and LDCs have 
increased  (from 7% in 1995  to 16.5% in 2022 for females and from 14.6% to 22.2% for males ).

4.5.  Chart 4 illustrates that Europe continues to have the highest proportion of professional staff 
(48%) for both males and females. However, the shares of male professionals from Europe and 
North America have  progressively  decrease d since 1995 (from 38.6% to 23.5% for Europe and from 
11.1% to 6.5% for North America).  Generally, female representation has i ncreased since 1995 for 
Africa, Asia, and Europe.  
4.6.  In the case of Oceania, the proportion of female professionals decreased from 1.2%  in 1995  to 
0.3% in 2022,  and this region accounts for the lowest number of staff  overall . Annex 5 provides 
further percentages illustrating representation by region among st all  WTO staff  as well as 
professional staff.

4.7.  As of 31 December 2022, there were a total of 25 Secretariat members at Director -level and 
above , of wh om 11 are female . Table 1 comprises the Director -General, De puty Director s-General , 
Chef de Cabinet,  Head of Office of Internal Oversight , and Directors . Asia continues to have  the 
strongest representat ion among senior management, with 29.2% of overall staff at this level (as 
indicated in Annex 6) .

5  RECRUITMENT  
5.1.  Recruitment in the Secretariat continues to be firmly based on the principles set out in 
Staff Regulation 3.1, which states the following:  
"The recruitment policy of the WTO shall be to seek to attract and retain staff members 
offering the highest standards of competence, efficiency and integrity. It shall be based 
WT/BFA/W/648  
 
- 6 - 
 
  on the principle of equal opportunity for all, regardless of gender , nationality, race or 
religion, with the objective of ensuring the broadest possible diversification of the 
Secretariat."  
5.1  Applications received and candidates short -listed  
5.2.  In 2022, the Secretariat received a total of 6,184 applications (shown in Table 2 a nd Annex 8) 
in response to 46 external and internal vacancy notices (VNs), of which 37 were for professional 
positions (30 external, 7  internal). An average of 107 individuals applied per external vacancy notice 
in 2022.  
5.3.  The number of applications  received demonstrates general interest in working for the WTO. 
The analytical value of the data is however limited by the fact that  all applicants are included while 
some may not  meet the minimum requirements of a position  and others may have applied for 
multiple positions . 
5.4.  The number of applications was consistent in 2022 with previous years. Efforts have been made 
by HR to increase the visibility of vacancy notices through adver tising on multiple platforms such as  
LinkedIn  and Impactpool . Targeted efforts were made for director vacancies, where the Secretariat 
worked with an external head -hunting agency to source a diverse pool of candidates, including from 
developing Members.  
5.5.  Table 2 shows the number of VNs advertised and applications received per grade in 2022. The 
highest number of applications received was for entry level Grade 6 Professional positions.

5.6.  Annex 8  shows details of applications received by nationality . 
5.7.  The number of shortlisted candidates gives a better indication of the number of qualified 
applicants from each Member  (Annex 9) . Given that it is not uncommon for highly qualified 
candidate s to be sho rtlisted for more than one  vacanc y, there is a certain level of variability in the 
data. 
5.8.  In terms of the candi dates short listed for non-linguistic professional positions advertised in 
2022, France  had the highest percentage of applicants  (9.8%), followed by  Italy ( 8.9%) and Canada 
(6.3%).

5.10.   In 2022, the Secretariat appointed 31 staff members , of which  21 were for professional 
positions (with 13 of the 21 staff members at the Grade 6 and Grade 7 levels ). 
5.11.   Among these 21 appointments  for professional  positions , the majority were individuals from 
developing  countries  and LDCs (13 representing 61.9%) and females (15 representing 71.4%)

6  GENDER BALANCE  
6.1.  Women currently represent 5 5.5% of staff in t he organization , outnumber ing men by 368 to 
295. 
6.2.  As shown in Annex 10, a mong professional staff, women represent 48.4% in 2022 (compared 
to 31% in 1995) . Among  the support staff, women represent 67.6% in 2022 (compared to  72.2% 
in 1995) . 
6.3.  Gender equality  will continue to be actively promoted  in the WTO Secretariat. To this end, a 
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer will shortly be recruited to drive forw ard diversity initiatives 
and ensure a safe, equal , and empowering workplace.  
6.4.  Chart 5 shows that while there was no female representation at grade 11  in 1995, there were  
7 females at grade 11 as of December 2022. There has also been notable improvement over the last 
20 years in the representation of female professionals , specifically  in grades 6, 7 , 8, and 9 . 
Nevertheless, although gender balance continues to gradually improve, women continue to be 
underrepresented overall in senior managemen t staff positions.  WT/BFA/W/648
