Bentley's gender pay gap shows a median gap of 0.2% and a mean gap of 6.3% as of its latest report. These figures highlight Bentley's commitment to reducing pay disparities within its workforce.
Understanding Bentley's Gender Pay Gap
The gender pay gap at Bentley is calculated and reported using both median and mean figures, providing a comprehensive view of the difference in average earnings between men and women across the organization.
Median vs. Mean Gender Pay Gap
It's important to understand the distinction between the two metrics:
- Median Pay Gap: This represents the difference in pay between the middle-earning woman and the middle-earning man when all employees are lined up from the lowest to the highest paid. Bentley's median gender pay gap is 0.2%, indicating a very narrow gap at the midpoint of pay distribution. This figure is significantly lower than the UK's nationwide median pay gap of 7.7%.
- Mean Pay Gap: This is the difference in average hourly pay for all men and women in the organization. Bentley's mean gender pay gap has slightly decreased from 6.5% to 6.3%.
The mean pay gap at Bentley is larger than the median because it is more heavily influenced by the salaries of the most senior members of the organization. If a higher proportion of top-earning roles are held by one gender, it can skew the mean average without necessarily reflecting widespread pay inequality across all levels.
