Annual Integrated Report 2019

Gender pay gap reporting Gender pay gap legislation was introduced in the UK to encourage employers to focus on the differences in male and female pay across organisations regardless of job role. The legislation is applicable to employers who have more than 250 employees and has been introduced to support the government’s objective to reduce the gender pay gap in a single generation. Bidfood UK’s gender pay gap review results brought to our attention the higher proportion of men than women in our workforce who undertake roles attracting higher rates of pay, bonuses or allowances. This is indicative of the industry in which we work, which is traditionally male dominated. We have always believed in appointing the right person for the role, regardless of gender or other characteristics, however the impact of having more male colleagues in senior roles creates a signi cant challenge in closing this pay gap. Bidfood UK has voiced their commitment to developing a diverse workforce and addressing this gender pay gap. The plan includes initiatives to address: • review and benchmarking of roles as part of a pay simpli cation process • strategic recruitment review to explore our gender mix across the business to attract and support more women • training to develop skills to manage gender diverse teams • developing strategic partnerships with external organisations to encourage more women engagement within the foodservice industry.
