Some of Nottingham City’s key employers have come together to publish their Pay gap reports in one place for:
- Gender (statutory obligation) The gender pay gap information employers must report - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and
- Ethnicity (voluntary, currently). Ethnicity pay reporting - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
Background
In 2017, the Government introduced world-leading legislation that made it statutory for organisations with 250 or more employees to
report annually on their gender pay gap. This includes the mean and median gender pay gaps; the mean and median gender bonus gaps; and the proportions of male and female employees in each pay quartile. The gender pay gap shows the difference in the average pay between all men and women in a workforce. If a workforce has a particularly high gender pay gap, this can indicate there may be several issues with which to deal, and the individual calculations may help to identify what those issues are.
In 2020, the Black Lives Matter protests and the unequal effects of Covid-19 on Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) individuals prompted numerous organisations to publicly denounce racism and discrimination. To sustain this progress, implementing a voluntary ethnicity pay gap report is a practical approach that allows companies to take concrete actions. It helps them identify and address any existing inequalities within their workforce, track advancements, and facilitate significant changes.
The City Council launched its own Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy in 2020 and using this as a springboard has worked with other key organisations in the City to come together to publish their pay gap reports.
The diverse nature of Nottingham’s communities is a huge asset that
is valued and seen as one of the City’s great strengths. 34.6% of the population are from BAME groups (Census 2011); an increase from 19% in 2001 and 18% have a long-term illness or disability.
Pay gap reports are indicators of embedded and systemic diversity and inclusion problems within organisations and many employers are now taking significant steps to identify and address the causes of the gaps. Some are motivated to act by the legal requirements for transparency (in relation to gender), but others see pay gap data as an important inclusion indicator that must be tackled if they are to achieve an inclusive and diverse workplace. Reporting data can help to focus an organisations efforts in the right places and encourage conversations around diversity.
We understand the challenges that are facing the wider communities
that live and work in our City. We use data and information from a range of sources to influence our thinking and inform our decision-making. Our priority is to always address issues of discrimination, disadvantage, and remove barriers to access and opportunities.
Our organisations are committed to ensuring our workforces’ are representative of the communities they serve. We want to attract and retain talented employees from a wide range of backgrounds and with diverse skills and experience to operate as effectively as possible.
Below are the Organisations and their Pay Gap Reports
