Today, in accordance with ‘The Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021’, we are pleased to publish the 2024 KPMG Ireland Gender Pay Gap report, which reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace.
This year, we are encouraged to report that our mean gender pay gap has improved from last year and is now 8.8%. We also reached 50% women in our new partner promotions. These positive changes are an indication that our Gender Action Plan is working as we continue to strive toward greater gender balance at the most senior levels of our Firm.
While we celebrate this advancement, we recognise that there is still work to be done. Our goal is to continue this momentum and further embed the principles of our Gender Action Plan into every aspect of our organisational practices. We remain steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that every employee, regardless of gender, can thrive with us and reach their career ambitions.
As we look forward to the coming year, we are hopeful that our sustained efforts will lead to continued progress. By focusing on our Gender Action Plan and its implementation, we aim to build on the success we have achieved and increase the number of women in senior leadership roles which will in turn help to further close the gender pay gap within our organisation.
We are dedicated to achieving gender equity in our firm and will continue our efforts towards this goal because it contributes to better outcomes for our teams, clients, and community.
