Or find your employer’s median gender pay gap on the WGEA website here.

The Financial and Insurance Services median total remuneration gap (26.1%) has marginally increased in the past 12 months (from 25.9%) demonstrating that our industry isn’t taking this problem seriously, even knowing individual employer data would be open to scrutiny. 

This is a persistent problem that finance employers have refused to address for years, choosing instead to redistribute billions of dollars in profits each year anywhere else except into the pockets of women in their workforce. 

Through our smashing the gender pay gap campaign, we’re committed to removing the barriers that prevent women from fully and equally participating in the workforce. There are many things you can do in your workplace to help make it more equitable. You can start by: 

• downloading our interactive poster to add and display your workplace name and gender pay gap, and start shining a light on this issue. 
• downloading and printing our workplace salary game to open up a conversation with your colleagues about the gender pay gap and pay transparency.

Let’s hope employers see these results as an opportunity to walk the walk and fix the problem rather than just talk about it.
