The CII Group has reported declines in its median gender and ethnicity pay gaps. The group’s median gender pay gap stood at 9.31% in 2022, the lowest since the organisation began reporting in 2019. Its median ethnicity pay gap fell to 9.9%, from 14.1% in 2021, the first year it reported this statistic.
The organisation’s gender pay gap data is based on 203 individuals employed by the CII Group in April 2022, while the ethnicity data reflects information provided by 177 individuals at that time.
The organisation also published data that shows an increase in its mean gender pay gap to 21.19%, reflecting fewer males employed in lower- and middle-quartile pay roles. The figure remains lower than the 28% differential the organisation reported in its first statistics in 2017. The CII Group’s mean ethnicity pay gap nearly halved year on year, falling to 13.1% in 2022.
Mean and median data on the CII Group’s pension gap shows an increase in 2022 compared to 2021. The figures used in this calculation include both employer and employee contributions.
Alan Vallance, the CII’s CEO, said:
“We choose to publish this data despite our headcount being below the required reporting threshold, because we believe it is the right thing to do. It is reassuring to see further improvement in these latest figures, while recognising that small changes in our employee composition can make a significant difference to these important measures, which we must bear in mind when making historical comparisons.
“There is clearly more to be done and we will continue to take positive action in collaboration with other organisations to improve diversity across our sector.”
