Gender Pay Report 2020

Taking responsibility for equality, diversity and inclusivity is not just a nice thing to do, or a moral thing to do, it's actually a commercial thing to do. It's better for business, better for the economy, better for society, better for the world.

This last year has shown just what we can achieve when we work together, when we are kinder, when we are flexible, when we represent neurodiversity in decision-making and when we trust each other to do the right thing.

Unlike a number of our peers within the sector we did not reduce the hours or salaries of our people during the pandemic, managed to top up those who we had to place on Furlough and we set up a hardship fund accessible to all and we provided a 'work from home' allowance; we also ensured a focus on health and wellbeing including the creation of a dedicated wellbeing hub, increased number of mental health first aiders across the firm and hold regular health and well-being sessions.
