This year, we have created a Pay Gap Report that extends beyond the legal requirement for gender to ethnicity, sexuality, education, disability and socio-economic status. This data provides transparency and will aid us significantly on our journey to creating a fair and equitable workplace for all.
We are delighted to have been announced as one of the top 100 Diversity Leaders of 2020 across European businesses following an independent survey carried out on behalf of the Financial Times. The award assesses diversity across gender, age, ethnicity, disability and sexual orientation, and ranks organisations in Europe on the extent to which they offer diverse and inclusive workplaces. The survey focused on two broad areas, looking at the scale in which employers promoted diversity within the workforce, and identifying companies that stood out when it came to encouraging diversity and equal opportunities.
The Gender Pay Gap refers to the difference between the average pay of all men and the average pay of all women. Like many technology companies, we have traditionally had more men than women in senior and technical roles in our business, which is what drives our Gender Pay Gap. To tackle this we are committed to a long-term goal of filling our non-entry-level roles through internal promotions and doing so using a clean, bias-free and open selection process.
