Female HR Bosses 107 Years from Equal Pay
The average female manager in the UK faces a wait of 57 years for their salary to be on a par with male counterparts, while equal pay for women HR bosses is a mind-blowing 107 years away.
These are the findings of the ‘2010 National Management Salary Survey’ undertaken among 43,000 managers in 200 organisations by researchers XpertHR on behalf of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).
The study revealed that, although female leaders’ salaries rose by about 2.8% in the last 12 months to £31,306 per annum, on average they were paid £10,000 or 24% less than their male equivalents.
But it also indicated that women HR bosses faced the longest wait of any sector before their take-home pay equalled that of men. Although their wages increased by 3.1% over the last year compared with pay rises of 2.9% for men, the gap was on average closing more slowly than in other professions. The pay differential with male colleagues currently stood at £7,847.
