In Balfour Beatty<\/a>‘s annual Gender Pay Gap Report, the company made progress in narrowing the gender pay gap and improving the gender bonus gap<\/h2>\n

Balfour Beatty’s 2020 report<\/a> shows a considerable rise in the number of female graduate and apprentice recruits, with the figure now standing at 27% from 22% in 2019.<\/p>\n

The mean and median gender pay gap<\/a> has reduced to 15% and 18% respectively from 21% and 26%. The mean and median gender bonus gap has closed to 14% and -1% from 28% and 28%.<\/p>\n

As a direct result of the positive steps taken<\/a> to increase the proportion of female hires across the business, the company appointed its second female Executive Committee member<\/p>\n

As part of its ongoing commitment to gender equality, the business has implemented a number of initiatives designed to support and develop women in the business such as the introduction of a Reverse Mentoring Programme for all UK Executive Committee members; helping senior leaders to understand the perspectives and experiences of those in under-represented groups.<\/p>\n

Diversity and inclusion action plan<\/h3>\n

The improvement made across these measures is as a result of the actions outlined in the Group\u2019s rolling three-year diversity and inclusion action plan<\/a>, which lays out aims and actions to create a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential.<\/p>\n

Balfour Beatty has also continued to invest in development programmes such as its \u201cEmpower\u201d and \u201cFuture Leaders\u201d training modules to support women in their careers through unique learning opportunities which encourage talented female employees to be their individual and best self and fulfil their potential.<\/p>\n

Balfour’s training includes a mandatory e-learning module to equip all of its employees with the awareness and knowledge required to continue to improve diversity and inclusion within the company.<\/p>\n
