Gender Pay Gap 2021

7 - Conclusions and Next Steps The average (mean) hourly pay difference between women and men has increased from the 2020 slightly by 8 pence per hour. This is 5 pence less than the gap in 2019. A much larger increase in the gap is visible in the median pay difference, increasing by 50 pence. In bonus pay, we see a reduction in mean percentage pay gap, with the 2021 percentage gap being 2.88% lower than the 2020 gap. However, there has been a large increase in the median pay gap, which is 10.21% higher in 2021 than in 2020. An action plan to address the findings of this year’s gender pay gap report will be produced and signed off at the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Programme Board. The action plan will be focused on: • Reviewing further data and identifying relevant actions from: o The mean and median average salary “step point” offer for new starters to the NHS joining the organisation within each salary band for women and men. o The length of time men and women are in a position before they leave their position. • Reviewing how Christie Behaviours are embedded in pay-related recognition and promotion, to recognise all staff adding value through work activities that are often invisible or not otherwise financially recognised, such as: o Promotion processes o Internal interview processes o Bonus awards
