We are pleased to have decreased our mean gender pay gap by 5% vs 2022-23 resulting in a minor negative gender pay gap.
We continue to listen and through our annual companywide survey, we proactively seek feedback on our approach in a number of key areas including Equity, Diversity and Inclusion with scores from our recent survey in these areas indexing above the overall average which is pleasing and gives us real encouragement for the future. The survey also provides us with further insight into our business culture to assess we can target more general improvements. These data points are allowing us to set clearer targets particularly as we continue to our ambition to increase the number of senior females in our business but also ensure our overall recruitment strategy ensures we are seen as a gender-neutral organisation who is looking to ensure true diversity of thought and voice. In addition, we consistently review our family friendly policies and welcome flexible working requests to ensure no one is restricted as they progress their career with us.
As in prior years, our bonuses across the business have been predominantly factory focussed initiatives.
