What's behind the numbers
Our fictional example shows a familiar pattern: women are under-represented in the upper pay quartile and over-represented in the lower one, which drives most of the overall gap — rather than unequal pay for the same role. A real report from us would set out what's driving your own gap in plain English, alongside a clear, board-ready action plan.
