Understanding IHSS’s Gender Pay Gap Report
IHSS is proud to share our Gender Pay Gap Report for 2023, offering insight into the strides we’re making—and the work that still lies ahead—in promoting gender equality across our organisation.
So, why is tackling the gender pay gap so important?
Unlike unequal pay, which refers to paying men and women differently for the same job, the gender pay gap highlights the broader disparity in average earnings between men and women in the workforce. These differences often arise from a range of structural factors, including the types of roles typically held by men and women, patterns of part-time work, and the under-representation of women in senior leadership.
Closing the gender pay gap isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s also good for business. Equal pay and equal opportunity help drive a fair and inclusive workplace culture, improve employee satisfaction and retention, and support innovation through diverse thinking. Companies that actively embrace equality also tend to enhance their reputation, attracting both top talent and customers who share these values.
At IHSS, we are committed to creating a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Our annual gender pay gap report outlines our current position, highlights key areas of progress, and reinforces the steps we’re taking to ensure sustained improvement.
Together, we’re building a stronger, more inclusive future.
