Introduction
Under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017, Champneys is legally required to publish, on an annual basis, specified information relating to their gender pay gap.
The following information has been calculated in accordance with the Regulations and is legally compliant.
The Gender Pay Gap
The gender pay gap is the difference between the average pay of men and women, expressed as a percentage.
Based on staffing numbers and reporting obligations this data set relates Champneys Henlow [inc Head Office], and Champneys Day Spa.
The gender pay gap has many contributing factors which will differ from organisation to organisation, across sectors and across geographical locations. These factors may or may not be unlawful or discriminatory, guided by society or cultural aspects, or because of internal organisational practices.
Our report
It is crucial to our understanding of gender pay disparity to recognise that the gender pay gap is different to equal pay.
Equal pay is where there is a discriminatory pay difference between men and women who carry out the same job, jobs rated as equivalent or work of equal value.
We are confident that our gender pay gap is not because we pay men and women differently for the same or equivalent work. Instead, our gender pay gap is because men and women work in different roles and those roles have different salaries.
We actively take steps to promote gender diversity and work to breakdown stereotypes that we know exist, as a Spa Brand we work hard to promote gender diversity within all teams and especially within the area of beauty.
Champneys proudly has a Senior Leadership Team that is 58% Female. Across the UK economy, it is noted that men are more likely than women to be in senior roles (especially very senior roles at the top of organisations).
We are committed to equal opportunities and equal treatment for all employees, regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, age, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, sexual orientation, gender reassignment or disability. We have a clear policy of paying employees equally for the same or equivalent work, regardless of their sex (or anything else listed above).
