Hall & Woodhouse Gender Pay Gap Report

Hall & Woodhouse is committed to the principles of equal pay and opportunity for all team members. Our values are Ambition, Dedication, Integrity, Kindness and Teamwork, and we strive to ensure fairness for all. As part of this commitment, we wish to eradicate our gender pay gap, which exists because the majority of our senior leadership roles are filled by men.

We believe that a diverse business is a better business, and we recognise the value that diversity and inclusion can bring – both in terms of business benefits, such as higher performance, increased innovation and team engagement. We want all our team members to feel a sense of belonging at H&W. We also want to address barriers which may stop team members from progressing as they would like.

We have established a DEI working group. We have also appointed an external agency to run focus groups across the business, to enable us to hear genuine views from our team members. We will continue to engage with our team members to understand their experiences and develop a strategy with them to move us forward.

There is a lot of work to be done, but we are excited about where this journey will take us.
The gender pay gap is the difference between the average hourly earnings of men and women within the organisation and so compares people across different levels of the organisation. It is not a comparison of pay for people undertaking the same role.
