Gender pay gap 2022
The gender pay gap is an equality measure that demonstrates the difference in average earnings between women and men (developed by the Government Equalities Office).
Under the gender pay gap reporting requirements defined in 2016, the University publishes its gender pay gap each year, reporting on the previous year's gap.
Teesside University continues to strive to reduce the gender pay gap. The report for 2022 identified a 15.3% mean gap and a 16.2% medium pay gap. One factor, which negatively affects the gender pay gap at Teesside, is that the University employs its own staff in areas such as cleaning and caretaking which other organisations may choose to outsource.
It is positive to see that the University has achieved progress with a significant reduction in the median gender pay gap, with a reduction from 23.3% in 2021 to 16.2% in 2022 and a decrease in the mean gender pay gap, with a reduction from 16.2% in 2021 to 15.3% in 2022.
This significant decrease primarily reflects an improvement in the distribution of females across the University's pay quartiles. We have also seen an improvement in the proportion of women in the upper quartile. There has been an increase of women in the upper quartile rising from 256 females in 2021 to 267 in 2022.
