Kelly Gender Pay Statistics - 2021-2022

 Maggie Old • May 17, 2022

As a recruitment agency, we expect our Gender Pay Reporting figures will vary year on year because we are required to include our temporary workforce as well as our employees. These are our Gender Pay statistics relating to the snapshot date of 5 April 2021.


Gender Pay Gap.


Our pay gap remains in favour of women for the fifth year of reporting, but our mean gap is zero this year. In an ideal world, we would like to see no pay gap or a marginal one every year, but it’s incredibly difficult to monitor and control this when our temporary workforce pay is determined by our clients.

According to ONS, the average gap among full-time employees was reported as 7.9% in 2021. When we review our yearly statistics, we look closely at our full-time permanent employees as this is something we can monitor and control. This year our mean gap is in favour of the men by 2.59% but the median gap is in favour of the women by 2.87%.


Bonus Calculations


Only a small proportion of our temporary workforce are in receipt of a bonus so the difference between men receiving bonus compared to women is affected by this. There are more women compared to men on our permanent payroll where they are more likely to receive a bonus payment.

Due to the nature of our business, some of our employees are on sales-based schemes and therefore, their bonus potential is dependent on individual peformance which is difficult to control. We also have employees where their incentive percentage targets are role dependent and standardised. However, our top 20 bonus earners are 50/50 male and female.


What next?


At the end of 2021, we launched our new Agile Working policy with the aim of improving flexibility and supporting employees balancing work and home commitments. As we look to return to some normality this year, we hope our hybrid model will bring out the best in our people and offer new opportunities for progression.

We will continue to review our salaries to ensure they are fair and competitive, and we will continue to promote career development. We have recently launched a new People Performance Process to encourage conversations around development and give our employees foundations to succeed.

In addition to this, there are several diversity and inclusion initiatives in development as we are committed to creating an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment for all.

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.
