making it crystal clear

2025/6.

That’s why closing the gender and ethnicity pay gaps remains a top priority for our entire leadership team. We are now in our fifth year of publishing these combined figures, and the 2025 data shows a clear, positive trend: our pay gaps are narrowing. This progress is the direct result of targeted, sustained action across our UK and Sourceright businesses.

ethnicity pay gap.

We recognise that more needs to be done to address any inequalities in pay including ethnicity, which is why we have published both our gender and ethnicity pay gaps. While reporting on ethnicity is not yet legally required by UK organisations, we know it’s an area in which we must improve and believe it is the first step towards achieving our goals of transparency. Through publishing and being transparent with our current position, we see this as an important step to identify areas to address, to take action and to hold ourselves accountable for making positive change happen at Randstad.  

what is pay gap reporting comprised of?

These are the figures that help outline the progress we've made over the last five years, and helps us identify where we can also improve.

pay gap reporting explained. The median gender pay gap is the difference between the midpoints in the ranges of men’s and women’s hourly rate pay. It takes all salaries in the sample, lines them up from highest to lowest, and uses the middle salary. It is important to note there is a fundamental difference between Gender Pay and Equal Pay. Equal Pay is men and women being paid the same for performing the same work. We are confident we pay men and women equally for work of equal value. The mean gender pay gap is the difference between average hourly earnings of male and female employees within a company. The mean ethnicity pay gap is the difference between the average hourly earnings of employees in different ethnic groups within a company.
