Gender Equity Action Statement

The Goal

IWSR is striving to be an employer of choice, with the very highest standards of inclusion and supporting the broad, global diversity of our staff.  We recognise the significant contribution that diversity makes to our ability to provide the highest standards of data and insights to our clients.

We are continuously working to improve and embed best practices throughout our activities to promote and support inclusion, from recruitment through to our flexible working practices.

Our Actions

Our regular employee engagement surveys, and an annual EDI survey, enable us to collect feedback on a regular basis, empowering us all with the right data to take meaningful action.

We monitor our gender pay gap quarterly and whilst we are proud to have an almost even gender split within the company, and women in post in some of our most senior roles, our pay gap stood at 26% between males and females in the UK as of December 2023.  We are strongly committed to improving this gap.

As we grow during the year ahead, we are working hard to promote our career growth and development opportunities.   We are actively involved in a new mentorship programme for future female leaders.

In recruitment and selection, we share all of our opportunities internally.  We have implemented a gender balance policy in all our interview shortlisting.

We offer flexible working arrangements and offer a range of benefits to support health and wellbeing.

Through our focused attention on this area, we are continuously seeking a better understanding of what needs to be addressed and we are confident in our ability to make measurable improvements.
