2019’s gender pay gap reports - mixed emotions!!! How do banks compare? Download the data…

Mark.Freed / 05 Apr 2019

50/50 by 2020 – no way.  2019’s gender pay gap reports show a different 50/50.    

  • 50% of banks are employing a higher percentage of women in top quartile paying roles this year when compared to last. 

  • 50% of banks have reduced their gender pay gaps.

Anyone who has been to the government gender pay gap website will know and understand the challenges of finding full industry data. The attached document is my attempt. Apologies in advance for any errors and omissions. 

Looking for good news? At E2W we like to share the good.  

This is now the one point in the year where we get the chance to look at the real figures behind the rhetoric. This year, the second year of reporting, we have the added advantage of being able to see the how firms are progressing. So lets share the good news :- 

  1. It is perhaps no surprise that all E2W clients have made significant progress. All improved the % of females in top quartile paying roles and made good progress in closing their pay gaps as a consequence. Well done to BAML, Goldman Sachs, Janus Hendersons, Investec, LGIM, Man Group. All of whom we worked for in the period. 
  2.  50% of banks are employing a higher percentage of women in top quartile paying roles this year when compared to last. 
  3.  50% of banks have reduced their gender pay gaps

I'd love to hear from you and how your organisation is progressing with their gender targets. Please get in touch with me
