• The gender pay gap is the percentage difference between the average hourly earnings of female and male colleagues.

    Our Gender Pay Gap

    At  Irwell Valley Homes, women earn £1.08 for every £1 that men earn when comparing mean hourly pay.

     

    When comparing the median hourly pay, women earn 97p for every £1 earned by mean.  

     

    This indicates that while we have high-earning female role models, there is still work to be done in balancing pay across the middle of our workforce.

  • Our Gender Pay Gap

    Women occupy 54.8% of the highest paid jobs and 60.8% of the lowest-paid jobs. These pay quarters show the percentage of male and female colleagues in four equal-sized groups based on their hourly pay.
