Issue - meetings

(Member lead: Cllr S Hinchcliffe, Director: Angela Taylor)

Resolved:  That the gender pay gap and the actions proposed to address this be noted.

The Combined Authority considered a report of the Director of Resources which provided information on the gender pay gap.

It was reported that all organisations and businesses with over 250 employees were required, by legislation, to publish their gender pay gap.  Appendix 1 showed the gender make-up of the Combined Authority, the mean and median pay gap and the pay breakdown by quartiles.  Members considered the comparisons to district partners’ gender pay reports and noted that York’s figures would be added to the table. 

Members discussed the measures and future plans to reduce the pay gap and noted that the Combined Authority has a number of policies and working practices to encourage gender diversity and women into more leadership roles. It was agreed that further work on the talent management pipeline, including apprenticeships and links to schools and colleges would be undertaken and a report prepared for a future meeting.

Resolved:  That the gender pay gap and the actions proposed to address this be noted.
