We are pleased to share the positive findings of our latest 2023 Gender Pay Gap Report.

Gender wage gap

According to the latest report, the median gender pay gap at the BHF increased slightly from -0.1% in 2022 to 0.7% in 2023, favoring men. This marks a slight change from last year, when women earned higher average wages than men.

Calculating the median gender pay gap shows that men earned 1 pence more than women in 2023, compared to 1 pence less than women in 2023.

Encouragingly, we are proud that our gender pay gap remains close to zero and is much lower than the majority of other organizations in the UK.

Ethnic wage disparity

As part of our continued commitment to equality, we also decided to report on the ethnic pay gap. The median racial pay gap in 2023 will be 7.4%, favoring ethnic minority colleagues, from 12.2% in 2022.

Ethnic minority colleagues make up 10% of our workforce and 11% of staff in the top quartile of pay.

Commenting on the publication of our report, Charmaine Griffiths, Chief Executive Officer, said: “As we continue to work to build a better BHF, where all our talented colleagues feel like they belong to a team that does their best work and saves lives, we will I’m happy to share that the value remained below 1%. ”

“Making the world a fairer place is more important than the BHF alone, but we are committed to tackling inequalities in cardiovascular health across the four UK countries, improving the diversity of our research workforce and supporting the BHF. We are proud to do our part to make “Working” a more inclusive place. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished so far, but the work continues.

What’s next?

Over the past year, we have made progress in a number of key areas, including a focus on local hiring in retail, bringing diversity to our graduate programs, building accountability led by senior leaders, and continuing to strengthen our inclusive hiring practices. announced that it would be prioritized. We are making progress in all of these areas.

We continue to work to equalize gender and ethnic pay gaps, but our efforts to achieve a workforce that reflects British characteristics may widen some gaps in the short term. I am aware that there is a gender. We will continue to take responsibility and monitor our position.

We look forward to building on our foundation as an inclusive and responsible organization with equality at the heart of our culture.
