This has been calculated using bonus amounts paid, so is impacted by factors including the number of women who work part time as they receive a pro-rated bonus based on their working pattern (93% of our part-time colleagues are female.)
Proportion of Males and Females who were paid a bonus in the 12 months ending 5 April 2025:
Men – 2024
Men – 2025
Women – 2024
Women – 2025
There are a number of reasons why a colleague may not receive a bonus, the most significant being if a colleague has joined after the eligibility date.
