Organisations with more than 250 employees must publish their gender pay gap figures. We have 1,004 staff members, with 570 who are male and 434 who are female.
The gender pay gap is the difference in the average pay between men and women in an organisation. This is different from equal pay, which is the entitlement to being paid the same as someone doing work of equal value. We pay all staff members in the same role equally, regardless of gender or protected characteristics.
The information below is based on pay data as of 5 April 2021.
The mean difference in pay was 8.3% between men and women. This means the average salary or hourly rate for men is 8.3% higher than the average salary or hourly rate for women.
The median difference in pay was 9.4% between men and women. This is the difference between the midpoint hourly rate for men compared to the midpoint hourly rate for women.
In each pay band, or pay quartile, there are:
Staff who received a bonus work in the sales function of Gentoo Homes. There were 2 male and 7 female staff members who received a bonus.
The difference in mean bonus payments is -116%. The average bonus payment was £1,835.71 for females and £850 for males.
The median difference in bonus payments is -76.5%. The median bonus payment was £1,500 for females and £850 for males.
Our workforce is 56.8% male and 43.2% female.It is possible that if an organisation pays all employees equally, there may still be a gender pay gap because of the gender split within the workforce. For example, we have a higher proportion of males than females currently employed in the upper and upper mid quartiles.
We continue to review our approach to recruitment in these areas to attract greater female representation. The data shows a 1.3% increase from the previous year for female representation in the upper quartile, which is from successful recruitment of females in senior roles.
There continues to be a higher proportion of females in the lower mid quartile, which is 59.4% female.
We have initiatives in place to reduce our gender pay gap. Our initiatives include:
We are committed to the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion and we will continue to monitor our GPG data closely.
The information provided is accurate and was calculated using the methods set out in the gender pay gap reporting legislation.
