The UK HR profession is three-quarters female in 2011/2012.

Three-quarters of UK HR professionals (75.1%) taking part in XpertHR's HR careers survey are female (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required).

This is in line with earlier analysis from XpertHR Salary Surveys, which suggested that the UK HR profession was 75.8% female.

Other findings from the HR Careers survey on the gender composition of the UK HR profession include (XpertHR Benchmarking subscription required to access each link):

• By seniority level, more than three-quarters of UK senior HR professionals are female (76.6%).
• By specific HR job level, women are most heavily concentrated at HR assistant/administrator level. Women are least likely to have attained Head of HR roles.
• However, responses from HR Directors run counter to the trend toward the concentration of women at the lower levels of the profession. Seven-tenths of HR Directors taking part in this survey are female.
  
• By broad sector, public sector HR departments are less female-dominated than those in the private sector.
