Gender Pay Gap Report 2018

As an employer with over 250 employees, Dodd Group (Midlands) Ltd presents its second Gender Pay Gap Report. The information provided is based upon data as at 5th April 2018.

We work within the construction industry, a traditionally male dominated sector where the majority of the workforce is made up of onsite trades and engineers, which is also the background of much of our senior management team. Currently this means that women represent a smaller proportion of our workforce and they are predominantly employed in clerical and administrative roles. This gender imbalance is the reason for our gender pay gap.

Dodd Group is committed to working to change the gender imbalance that is prevalent within the construction sector. We are passionate about providing a fulfilling, diverse and inclusive place to work, with equality and fairness remaining at the heart of our business. We strive to encourage women to join all areas of our company to achieve a better gender representation within our workforce.

We are actively encouraging more people, particularly women, to consider careers in the construction sector through involvement with schools: our HR manager has become a STEM ambassador and she regularly providing workshops to promote careers within our industry. Our work continues to ensure our apprenticeships are attractive to women so that they are encouraged to join our sector early in their careers. In this way we hope to address the imbalance in a sustainable manner.

We remain confident that we pay men and women equally in equivalent job roles across our business.

I confirm that these calculations are accurate, and that they comply with statutory requirements.
