Matthew Harradine, Director, totaljobs Posted in Opinion on 24 Jul 2017 Company Profile Totaljobs View profile » The revelation this week that there is a significant gender pay disparity amongst the BBCs leading talent is a sad reflection of a wider, societal issue. Ahead of the introduction of gender pay gap reporting, research from totaljobs discovered that one third of employers (32%) werent reviewing salaries across gender to safeguard against discrimination. The research also found that salary information across roles and genders was not available among 58% of employers and that 82% of employers were not reviewing their gender equality/equal pay policy. Since its introduction we hope things have improved, but its clear that there could be further revelations to come as more companies publish their data. In the meantime, its still shocking that such a large, high-profile, publicly funded employer has such disparities in what it pays male and female employees performing largely similar roles, but we hope that the transparency encourages change.
