2017 Gender Pay Gap Data
Our 2017 data shows a gender pay gap close to zero, which marginally favours women. This is substantially ahead of the UK average, and something we’ve been working hard to achieve over a number of years.
There are several pieces of data we now publish on our website and on the government’s gender pay gap service:
- The mean and median gender pay gap in hourly rate
- The proportion of men and women in each quartile pay band
- The mean and median bonus gender pay gap
The gender pay gap is not the same as unequal pay, which is paying men and women differently for doing the same or similar work.
