The inclusion of the disability pay gap data is an important step to understanding and addressing the barriers faced by some of our colleagues. It is encouraging to see that our disability pay gap is lower than pay gaps for gender and race.
While this represents a positive step forward, we recognise that it is only the beginning. We remain committed to building an organisation where every colleague feels valued, supported and fairly rewarded. We want to continue to build a clearer picture of disability representation across our organisation. We know some people choose not to disclose their disability and our aim is to create an environment where everyone feels confident and supported to do so.
This will help us work from a more representative set of numbers and demonstrate our commitment to equality and fairness – and is the right thing for us to do.
Across our gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps as a whole, the data paints a complex picture and raises questions to which there are no simple answers – but this is precisely why we gather and share it. Our ambition is not only to reduce gaps where they exist, but also to understand the reasons behind them and tackle the root causes.
While there may be no simple answers, there is a simple approach: remaining committed to treating our staff with fairness and equality, regardless of who they are.
