The gender pay gap, the difference between what men and women earn, has narrowed at RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n

The mean gender pay gap as of June this year was 8.85%, down from 10.09% last year.<\/p>\n

The median gender pay gap at RT\u00c9 is 11.18%, down from 12.74% in 2024.<\/p>\n

The mean pay gap is the difference between the average hourly rate of pay for women, compared to the average hourly rate of pay for men.<\/p>\n

The median pay gap represents the difference in hourly pay between the middle-placed woman and the middle-placed man.<\/p>\n

RT\u00c9’s first gender pay gap report was published in December 2022 and revealed a mean gender pay gap of 11.55% and a median gender pay gap of 13.03%.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the mean gender pay gap was 11.29% and the median gender pay gap was 12.75%.<\/p>\n

RT\u00c9 said that staff grades that receive overtime payments significantly impact the overall figures.<\/p>\n

Excluding these grades, the mean gender pay gap stands at 6.52% and the median at 3.20%.<\/p>\n

The broadcaster said there is a gender balance across its Leadership Team and the RT\u00c9 Board, and there is a 45:55 female to male gender ratio across all management grades.<\/p>\n

“Headcount variations throughout the year, driven by live events, staff movements and operational needs, create natural shifts in the metrics that require longer-term tracking to fully assess,” RT\u00c9 said.<\/p>\n

In a message to staff, RT\u00c9 Director General Kevin Bakhurst said the figures provide transparency on its progress during a year of significant organisational transformation.<\/p>\n

“I am encouraged to see RT\u00c9\u2019s gender pay gap narrow further this year, continuing a trend from our first report in 2022,” Mr Bakhurst said.<\/p>\n

“There is more work to do, and we are committed to continue to move this dial,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We are encouraged to see that the trend is in the right direction, particularly given the complexity of RT\u00c9 as an organisation which operates with a very low turnover of staff. However, I personally won’t be satisfied until the gap is zero,” he added.<\/p>\n

Since 2024, all employers with over 150 employees have been legally obliged to report on their gender pay gap.<\/p>\n

This year, the requirement was extended to all employers with over 50 staff.<\/p>\n

The deadline for companies to publish their gender pay gap reports is 30 November.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
