UK Society member-shared insights note the perceived effectiveness by corporates and investors alike of this European airline easyJet Gender Pay Gap disclosure posted on the company's Corporate Responsibility webpage. While regulatory schemes differ, US companies are increasingly being pressured to voluntarily tell their gender pay gap story, along with plans to rectify unwarranted gaps. Depending on particular facts & circumstances, the reader-friendly easyJet graphic may thus be instructive for companies in the US or elsewhere.
EasyJet's disclosure shows that its pay gap is wholly position-based - with pilots, i.e., the highest paying position (average salary £92,200), comprised predominantly of males, and the cabin crew, i.e., the lowest paying position (average salary £25,500), comprised predominantly of females - and management & administrative positions falling in between the two extremes (38% female/62% male @ average salary £53,900). The report notes that the company is seeking to encourage more women to become pilots through a 2015-launched initiative that aims for 20% of its new entrant pilots to be female by 2020.
