Moore Kingston Smith reports gender pay gap of 3.5%

Moore Kingston Smith is pleased to report that its mean gender pay gap has reduced further for 2020, to 3.5%. The firm’s median gender pay gap now stands at -7% (in favour of women). This represents a significant reduction in the firm’s gender pay gap over the last three years (since reporting was introduced), and remains well below both the national average (15.5%) and industry average among professional services firms (28%)*.

Maureen Penfold, Managing Partner of Moore Kingston Smith, comments: “It’s been great to see our gender pay gap figures continue to reduce, as we pride ourselves on being a fair and inclusive firm, which these figures reflect. For many years we have had a higher than average proportion of females in senior roles, with female partners consistently comprising between a quarter and a third of the total. While having an inclusive culture has always been part of our DNA, we don’t take it for granted and our intentional people-first strategy includes a range of policies aimed at ensuring equal opportunities for all.

“Our focus now is on working to ensure that we continue to improve in this area by providing the appropriate resources, training, processes and communication to support all our people equally. Our Inclusion Committee is a great source of collaboration in this, acting to challenge perceptions and encourage mutual education and understanding to further develop a culture of inclusion and acceptance.”
