EY Ireland Gender Pay Gap
At EY, our purpose is Building a better working world for our people, our clients and our communities. We are committed to ensuring a culture focus on diversity, equity and inclusion.
In July 2021, the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021 (the “Act)” was signed into law, requiring employers with 250 or more employees to calculate and report their gender pay gap figures. The gender pay gap is the difference in the average (median and mean) hourly earnings between men and women across a workforce. The pay gap and equal pay are different; Equal pay is being paid the same for the same/similar work.
Our data for this report includes all EY Republic of Ireland employees.
Our 2023 Gender Pay Gap
Addressing our gender pay gap is a key area of focus for us as a business and we have a range of targeted supports and programmes in place aimed at closing the gap. While we continue to have a representation challenge at senior levels with more men than women in leadership roles, we remain very focused on improving our female representation across our business and on our strategic goals and interventions to support closing the gap.
Our report details the actions we are taking as a firm to close our gender pay gap and the clear targets we have set ourselves, such as our focus on achieving gender parity across all levels of the firm to director level, and 35% female representation in our Partnership by FY25.
Please read our full report here for more information.
We constantly strive to improve gender balance at all levels in the organisation. We seek to do this by ensuring that we build and develop a pipeline of diverse talent. I know how important this is to us collectively as a leadership team and how determined we are to get there.
