Women and Pay in the UK

Conclusion The pay gap is the narrowest it has ever been down from 9.6% in 2014 to 9.4% in 2015 according to the Equal Pay Portal, but the Randstad report shows it still exists, or at least the perception of it does. Companies need to focus more on empowering women and providing clear and transparent pay structures to ensure true equality. Women themselves need to have self-belief and push for development and promotion. The businesses which make the most of the opportunities women bring will be the ones who enjoy the most success. Those who ignore women’s skills or refuse to reward them properly do so at their own peril, risking higher staff turnover, lower morale and ultimately a less healthy bottom line.
