The Department published its first gender pay gap report in December based on those staff on our payroll as at 31 March 2017. The report identified a mean pay gap in favour of men of 15.26%, and a median pay gap of 8.91% in favour of men.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> At the time of DExEU\u2019s gender pay gap report, women being overrepresented in more junior grades and underrepresented in more senior grades was a significant contributory factor in reporting DExEU\u2019s gender pay gap. This is an issue that we are committed to addressing both through our recruitment practices and the use of cross government talent management schemes.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> As a relatively new department, we had not paid any bonuses as at 31 March 2017. The department has now developed and implemented a reward and recognition policy so we will be able to report on this in future years. The policy puts equal opportunities at the forefront of all reward decisions alongside a mechanism to ensure consistency and fairness.<\/p>"}
