Preparing our first Gender Pay Gap Report was an important moment for us. It marked a new step in transparency and gave us a clearer understanding of how our workforce is structured today. We approached the process with openness and attentiveness, treating it as more than a compliance requirement. It allowed us to look at our organisation through a data-driven lens and identify areas that will support long-term planning and development.
Our Approach
We gathered key data from across the firm and analysed it in line with the statutory requirements. Rather than focusing only on the headline figures, we looked deeper into the structure of our workforce: how roles progress, how teams are made up and how career pathways influence long-term outcomes. This helped us build a complete picture of our organisational profile.
What the Data Showed
Our report highlights several trends that are common across many professional services firms. These include a diverse mix of people across departments, strong representation at early-career levels and structural patterns that reflect experience and seniority.
By examining quartiles, bonus participation and benefits-in-kind, we gained clearer insight into how different roles and responsibilities are distributed across the firm. These findings will help inform future monitoring and internal development planning.
Our Commitments Moving Forward
Our report outlines several planned actions, including:
Continued pay benchmarking
Increased focus on transparency around progression
Ongoing monitoring of gender distribution across quartiles
Preparing for the requirements of the upcoming EU Pay Transparency Directive
These steps will help ensure we remain aligned with evolving regulatory expectations and maintain a structured approach to monitoring workforce data.
What Other Employers Can Take From This
If you are preparing your first Gender Pay Gap Report, we recommend starting early, reviewing your data carefully and examining the full picture rather than focusing on a single figure. Understanding the “why” behind your numbers is key — it will help you create a narrative that reflects your organisation accurately and sets a clear direction for the year ahead.
Gender Pay Gap reporting is an opportunity to understand your workforce more deeply and create clarity across your organisation. Our experience has reinforced the value of taking a structured, thorough approach from the outset.
