ANALYSIS
Gender Pay Gap
As seen above Knights of Old’s gender pay gap remains very small even though it has increased from last year’s figures. Knights of Old are committed to pay equality in all areas of our business and our current gap is significantly lower than the national average gap of 8.6%. Whilst we are still pleased with our pay gap report as we operate in a male dominated industry, we acknowledge that we must continue to focus on this subject in order to reduce this gap.
Bonus Pay Gap
We acknowledge that our bonus pay gap remains substantial and this is due to there only being a bonus scheme in place for HGV drivers and only 1.6% of our HGV driving population are female. We accept that we have more work to do in the recruitment of women HGV drivers and our driver apprenticeship scheme is attracting new female drivers, just not in the numbers hoped for.
Actions
We are continuing our work to ensure equality and diversity across all areas of the company and are focusing on attracting more women into our company. Our driver apprenticeship scheme has had some success in bringing new women drivers into the industry and we are continuing our work with local schools to attract young men and women into our industry. We continue to encourage flexible working for all staff and ensuring that there is always equality of pay regardless of gender.The data presented in this report and accurate and has been approved by the Managing Director.
