Closing the Gender Pay Gap at Barratt Developments

The construction industry has traditionally been made up of a majority male workforce, and our business is no different. We recognise that we won’t be able to change the underrepresentation of women in our business overnight, however we are committed to identifying and addressing the reasons that may create this gender imbalance in Barratt.

While our gender pay gap is smaller than the current average for UK businesses, we are committed to further action and delivering against our Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan. While our plan is constantly evolving, we have once again seen progress in a number of key areas across the year.

We have seen a year on year increase in the number of women on our succession plan together with the second intake of our career development programme for high potential female employees. We have put in place improved policies to support colleagues such as carers and those undergoing fertility treatment. We have carried out a range of activities through ‘Under one Roof’, our gender equality employee network. All have helped make our female employees become more engaged
as measured by our Annual Employee Engagement Survey.

We will continue to work hard to close our gender pay gap and ensure that we build a diverse, inclusive and attractive working environment
