Gender Pay Gap Report 2022

What our colleagues say...

As we look to improve our gender pay gap and mean gender bonus gap, we will: 1 Continue to review benchmarking of all roles in the company and provide our colleagues with a grading structure, so they can see how their role compares to others in the company and how they can progress in their career. 2 Undertake quarterly gender pay gap reviews to identify trends and feed insights into our People and Culture Committee so that further actions for improvement can be taken in real time. 3 Implement Talent Management and Succession Planning to support the future success of the business and better understand the aspirations of our people and support the progression of their careers. This project has been under development since our previous report but has not progressed to a level that we would have liked. The primary reason for this has been because other initiatives that colleagues have told us are more important to them have taken priority. 4 Develop a new internal apprenticeships scheme to help develop the skills and expertise of colleagues who wish to enter new specialisms and start a new career journey within Animal Friends. 5 Introduce a matched pension contribution scheme, enhancing our existing pension provision , to make sure that all our colleagues feel supported and valued throughout their career journey.

Every year, we ask our colleagues for their feedback on how they feel we are doing and where there are still areas for improvement. We believe that our colleague-centric approach has had an overwhelmingly positive impact on our people, and that by simply listening to what’s important and taking action to address these challenges, even if small, can have a big impact. The results from our 2022-23 Colleague Engagement Survey told us that 84% of colleagues are very proud to work at Animal Friends and 82% sharing that they would recommend us as a great place to work. 93% of colleagues agreed that everyone here is treated fairly, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or other background. 96% of our colleagues feel comfortable reaching out to their manager when they need help and support.
