my name is moana parikh
0:13
and i'm the reward manager at the
0:15
university of warwick
0:17
the warwick community is made up of 26
0:20
000 students and over 7 000 members of
0:28
staff
0:31
we in the reward team spend a great deal
0:33
of our time
0:34
analyzing the workforce data for many
0:37
different purposes
0:39
but by far one of the most important
0:41
ones that we provide data for is the
0:43
annual gender pay gap report which is a
0:46
government requirement
0:48
we also work with many different
0:50
departments around the university
0:52
to then see how that data can inform
0:55
actions that need to be introduced in
0:58
order
0:59
to close the pay gaps
1:02
[Music]
1:06
we found that the differences between
1:09
the pay of
1:10
men and women at the same grade is
1:13
small and in many cases insignificant
1:17
so if it's not equal pay that is the
1:20
issue
1:21
what is the cause of our gender pay gap
1:24
and when we examined our data
1:26
in more detail it became clear quite
1:29
quickly
1:30
that the cause of warwick's pay gap can
1:32
most certainly
1:33
be attributed to the profile of our
1:36
workforce
1:37
we found that females staff of bame
1:41
ethnicity
1:41
and staff who have declared a disability
1:44
tend to dominate the lower grades
1:46
and have a lower representation in the
1:49
senior grades
1:50
if we want to address the gender pay gap
1:54
and make a real change we need to
1:57
address
1:58
the uneven distribution of staff by
2:01
gender
2:02
across different grades and this also
2:05
applied
2:05
to ethnicity and disability
2:14
so how are we driving change
2:17
to progressively remove barriers
2:20
particularly for those groups
2:22
that are underrepresented at senior
2:24
levels
2:26
we've introduced and piloted leadership
2:29
and development programs
2:30
in departments focused at these
2:33
particular groups
2:35
and the evidence has shown these
2:37
programs to be very successful
2:40
leading to female staff being seconded
2:43
and
2:43
promoted into more senior roles and more
2:46
of these programs
2:47
will be rolled out in the year ahead
2:51
one of the most notable positive changes
2:54
was a revision to the academic
2:56
promotions process
2:58
in 2017 we saw
3:01
a hundred percent success rate of women
3:04
who applied for professorial promotion
3:07
and this has continued through the years
3:10
and more is being done
3:12
to accelerate the progress in this area
3:16
we're now focused on developing an
3:18
institutional talent management strategy
3:21
which will cover talent attraction
3:24
recruitment
3:25
development promotion progression and
3:28
succession planning
3:30
the pay action group has published a pay
3:33
action plan
3:34
and continues to work with all the
3:36
departments across the university
3:39
as well as the gender task force the
3:42
race equality task force and the
3:44
disability task force
3:45
in order to close the gaps i am really
3:48
excited to be working
3:50
with a team who will be creating real
3:53
change
3:54
and will contribute to creating an
3:56
environment
3:57
where everyone can achieve their full
4:12
potential
