Shoosmiths has released its sixth pay gap report, which also voluntarily includes ethnicity, LGBT+ and socioeconomic pay gap data.
David Jackson, CEO at Shoosmiths said:
“This year’s pay gap report is a reminder that we need to maintain focus on representation at all levels of the firm, in order to move the needle towards parity. We have a strategy in place to support the firm on its journey in achieving greater equity. Diversity and inclusion is a standing quarterly item on Board agenda. This is accompanied by a data pack so there is regular monitoring of data trends at the most senior levels of accountability. These data trends inform our actions across the firm and we share highlights of this activity below.
“Since the start of the financial year we have invested in our employee proposition through reviewing our reward and recognition approach. This has included salary reviews, thank you bonuses and cost of living payments. While some of these interventions are not yet reflected in this year’s pay gap report, it shows our intent to support our people in delivering excellence. People and culture is a key enabler of our new strategy.
“We are entering a new and exciting period for our firm and our people are instrumental to the firm achieving its ambitions. As a responsible business it is incumbent on us to recognise the gaps highlighted here and take steps to understand and address them.”
