Kelly Gender Pay Gap Report 2017

Kelly has just published it's Gender Pay Gap report. Kelly is an employer required by law to carry out Gender Pay Reporting under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.

This involves carrying out six calculations that show the difference between the average earnings of men and women in our organisation; it will not involve publishing individual employee data.

We are required to publish the results on our own website and a government website. This is required to be published within one calendar year of April 5th.

Kelly will use these results to assess:

the levels of gender equality in our workplace

the balance of male and female employees at different levels

how effectively talent is being maximised and rewarded.

The challenge in our organisation and across Great Britain is to eliminate any gender pay gap. This report is intended to identify any areas we need to review.

For any Kelly colleagues who would like to discuss details on how we intend to tackle our gender pay gap can do this by:

talking to your supervisor or manager

contacting your HR department

Gender Pay Reporting requires Kelly to make calculations based on employee gender. We will establish this by using our existing HR and payroll records. All employees can confirm and update their records if they choose to by contacting the HR team on hservice@kellyservices.co.uk.

Kelly gender pay gap report for April 2017

Our Gender Pay Gap Report for April 2017 which was submitted in March 2018

Mean Gender Pay Gap: -3.64%

Median Gender Pay Gap: -5.73%

Mean Bonus Gap: -5.57%

Median Bonus Gap: -101.82%

Male Bonus Proportion: 34.91%

Female Bonus Proportion: 35.09%

Our Gender Pay Gap Report for April 2017 which was amended and re-published in March 2019

Mean Gender Pay Gap: -3.64%

Median Gender Pay Gap: -5.73%

Mean Bonus Gap: 2.70%

Median Bonus Gap: -117.06%

Male Bonus Proportion: 30.03%

Female Bonus Proportion: 34.70%

We were advised that some bonus payments to temporary workers were in fact additional pay for holiday or overtime. Therefore, we amended and re-published our 2018 report for the financial year 2016-2017. We are happy that the payments did not change the percentages of pay and quartiles in our previous report.

Quartile bands	Female	Male
Upper: 75-100% of full-pay relevant employees	48.68%	51.32%
Upper middle: 50-75% of full-pay relevant employees	45.03%	54.97%
Lower middle: 25-50% of full-pay relevant employees	28.81%	71.19%
Lower: 0-25% of full-pay relevant employees	47.19%	52.81%
Overall gender split of full-pay relevant employees (not reportable)	42.43%	57.57%

Quartiles

The quartile data shows the portion of full-pay women and men in each quartile. The percentages of these quartiles has been taken from the month of April 2017 only.

As you can see from the report above, three quarters of our quartiles are fairly comparative. However, there is a noticeable difference in the Lower Middle quartile. As a recruitment agency with a scientific and engineering specialism, we believe this difference has occurred because these industries have historically been male dominated. We strive to make positive steps to close this gap with continued partnerships within these fields.

Pay Gap

The Gender Pay Gap figures take into account the hourly rates paid to full-pay relevant employees during the month of April 2017 only.

Our figures show that on average, women earn more than men by 3.64%. At Kelly, we have a number of women with a high tenure which has played a factor in these figures. To put this in perspective, when we reviewed our length of service of employees included in this period, 19 out of the top 30 were female ranging from 10 to 28 years’ service.

Bonus Gap

The Bonus Gap takes into account the bonuses paid to employees for a whole year from April 2016 until April 2017.

The proportion of men and women who receive bonuses is relatively even, however we appreciate that our Median bonus gap of -101.82% stands out.

There are two distinct reasons for this bonus gap. The main factor is that a large proportion of our male workforce is engaged in temporary employment which historically does not offer the same bonus structure as other business areas reviewed.

The secondary reason is that Kelly has worked hard to create an inclusive and open culture, and we are proud to have created a platform for success. The bonuses included in this data include commission where Kelly staff have received a payment based on their performance and output. Our approach has driven a culture of high performing women and men of which we are very proud.

Change. How to turn your fear into fuel for a rocket move and wake up in a different reality.

28 Aug, 2023

Rephrasing the famous song, “Love is in the air”, let’s talk about change is in the air – and everywhere. We grow. We change. Look at your childhood photos. Watch your kid, your nephew, your niece. The change is there, and it’s incredible. Nature is constantly changing. We wait for summer as the time to enjoy outdoor activities and gardening, for a quick visit to the beach, or simply take time to relax and spend time with family, friends and loved ones. We wait for winter (even if we never see snow falling) to decorate the house for the holidays, pack presents for the people we love and unpack our own. The colour of the leaves changes, the weather shifts, and flowers blossom in their time – the landscape is constantly transforming. The world around us is changing. We travel to other countries and learn new things, cultures and languages. We take on new hobbies. We get new skills. After a couple of minor kitchen accidents (sometimes), we can cook delicious dishes and get compliments from family and friends. We transform our bodies at the gym or simply by creating the habit of walking every day. We meet new people, we sometimes fall in love, we build families, we have kids. And if you step back for a second, you realise you might have met your other half by pure accident. But you took a leap of faith into the unknown. We embrace many types of unknown change, except for the one that can change how we live five days a week – to change jobs. “I am too old/too young to change”, “I’m used to this environment; It’s my comfort zone”, “Well, I don’t get any promotion, and what I do doesn’t change the world, but it’s stable”, “I am afraid to ask for more interesting projects. What if my manager fires me?”. We often don’t want to change because that step requires a vision, courage, external support, and a leap of faith into the unknown. Scary? Yes. But also promising. A step into the unknown? Yes. But it can open a new door. Do your inner values marry what you do? Yes, it is essential. There is nothing terrible about staying in your comfort zone. At some stage of your career, staying put can be an excellent decision. But if you feel that you need a change – talk to Kelly. We don’t mind going the extra mile and support your wish to embrace the change. The one which will give meaning to what you do, feel proud, motivated and fulfilled. Ready for changing? We’ll make sure your talent can truly shine.
