- The opportunities to reduce the gap
Reassured is an equal opportunities employer and has a pay philosophy and career structure in place which recognises and rewards employees irrespective of gender.
Financial services have traditionally been male dominated environments and therefore, we actively work to attract and create a more gender balanced organisation, particularly within our sales and IT teams.
For the last few years, we have continued to have success with the appointment of several females into sales and IT roles.
We do however continue to focus on making improvements, as we do still have a higher proportion of males in management roles in Front Line and Corporate Sales, Client Services and specialist IT roles, where salaries and bonus payments are higher than in other departments within the company.
One of the areas of focus was the introduction of a new salary review process and bonus scheme for our sales teams in 2022 which also included managers.
The initial implementation is a leveller for salaries as we have a higher proportion of males in sales management roles which impacts on the mean gender pay gap of 15.8% and the median of 18.9%.
Last year we committed to a change in the bonus structure, and this has seen an improvement in the mean bonus gender pay gap reducing to 24% and the median to 31.5%.
The bonus scheme is non-discriminatory with both male and female employees having the same bonus opportunities.
In respect of the pay bands, there have been some small variations in all quartiles for both male and females. The upper quartile and upper middle quartiles for females has reduced marginally from the high in 2022 but has remained significantly higher than in 2021.
This is an area of focus as part of our overall remuneration & benefits strategy and talent acquisition process review given the current challenging recruitment market particularly in experienced sales and IT professionals.
As an organisation we continue to invest in development and progression to ensure we offer a structured process with attainable and very visible opportunities for all employees to meet their personal career aspirations.
We are committed to the improvement of our gender pay gap and have the following action plan in place to support:
- ESG project with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion
- DE&I training
- Women in Leadership training supported by the Apprentice Levy
- Employee Value Proposition
- Annual salary and bonus review policy
- Reward and flexible benefits platform
- Review of attraction and selection process across all levels and functions
- People Dashboard reporting on all key measurements
