📉 New Office for National Statistics data reveals a stark gender pay gap in finance: Women in senior financial roles are earning nearly 30% less than their male counterparts – a larger gap than any other sector, excluding a few trades. Despite overall progress across various industries, finance has only reduced its gap by a marginal 2.2 percentage points over five years, contrasting sharply with other fields where women have seen significant strides. For example, women in advertising saw the gender pay gap reduce from 20% to 7.5% since 2019. Jemima Olchawski, Chief Executive at the Fawcett Society, captures the issue clearly: “What we know is that the gender pay gap is worst in sectors traditionally dominated by men and where there is little transparency around pay and progression. Both those things apply to financial services. In fact, when you factor in bonuses the situation is even worse.” Financial organisations can address gender pay disparities by prioritising transparent recruitment, strengthening early career pipelines, and ensuring clear paths for progression. Real change starts by building inclusivity from the ground up, creating a finance sector where all talent can thrive. Read the full article from The Times here: https://lnkd.in/ervszcdi

Job searching can feel overwhelming, but a key piece of advice from Titta Hukkanen is to never assume. When you’re exploring opportunities, it’s easy to think, “They probably won’t offer flexibility” or “They won’t consider part-time.” But assumptions can be barriers you don’t need. So, whether you’re just starting out, returning to work, or looking for a change, don’t close doors for yourself. Ask the questions. Reach out. Your ideal role might be more possible than you think ✨
