GFT gender pay gap
An equality measure
It should be noted that gender pay is an equality measure that shows the percentage difference between the average hourly earnings for men and for women and this is different from equal pay, where men and women doing the same or broadly similar work must be paid the same. This report focuses on our gender pay gap (GPG) using the snapshot date of 5 April 2022.
Helping all employees achieve their full potential
We are committed to building a diverse workforce and promoting an inclusive culture, where all our employees have a sense of purpose, can be themselves at work and can achieve their full potential. We celebrate diversity and recognise this is fundamental to ensure our future success.
Whilst this is the first time we are reporting our gender pay gap (since we now have +250 employees as at the snapshot date), we have actively been working on this important topic over the past year or so. Although the results of our actions are not necessarily reflected in this data set, we continue to review our people strategies and evolve our approach. Consequently, we anticipate the next data set will show the positive progress we have made.

All GFT employees in UK: our latest results
We continue to make progress on increasing the number of women in our organisation, building on a trend going back to 2021 when this became a priority for the new leadership team. In addition, we are pleased to see even greater progress in our ‘Engineering and Consulting Services’ team, which employs the majority of our UK workforce, with the percentage of women rising from 10.6% in 2021 to 18.9% today.
Comparing our April 2023 headcount with our April 2022 headcount, we have increased the number of women by 10%, whilst the ratio of men to women has also changed from 77/23 to 76/24. As mentioned previously, making a positive and sustainable impact is a long-term commitment. We continue to review our people policies from attraction and recruitment, to reward and benefits, promotions, learning and development, and wellbeing.
