Wickes publishes gender and ethnicity pay gap report
Wickes has published its latest Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap Report which highlights the progress the home improvement retailer is making to build gender and ethnicity equality across its business.
The reports shows there has been an improvement in the median gender pay gap which has reduced from 0.07% to -0.77% in favour of women.
Meanwhile, the median ethnicity pay gap has increased slightly from -0.74% to 0.87%, but still remains negligible.
Wickes mean gender pay gap has grown a little from 6.51% to 8.65%, whilst the mean ethnicity pay gap reduced from 0.04% to -3.14% in favour of underrepresented ethnic minorities. Wickes said this was largely due to an increase in underrepresented ethnic minorities colleague representation in management positions.
