Gender pay is not the same as equal pay, whereby men and women receive equal pay for doing the same or very similar jobs.

A gender pay gap is the difference between the average earnings of male and female employees.

The Gender Pay Report illustrates such figures as percentages and must be published on an organisation’s website and entered onto the UK Governments Gender Pay Reporting Service.

In line with current legislation this report is based on Avtrade’s data as at April 2020.

Our people are at the heart of what we do and are vital to the success of Avtrade.  We firmly believe in fairness and equality for all employees and desire to continuously challenge unconscious bias.

We remain fully committed to full diversity in all positions within our organisation.  We remain unbiased in the recruitment, employment, training and development of all staff; we offer a fully inclusive working environment and listen to our employees’ ideas for improvement.

We do our very best to adopt the tested actions as recommended by the Behavioural Insights Team for the UK Government Equalities Office such as:

• The inclusion of women and diversity in the recruitment and selection process
• Using skills based assessment tasks in the recruitment process
• Structured interviews for recruitment and promotions
• Encouraging salary negotiations by the visibility of salary grades
• Leadership development training
• Performance self assessments
