At Portakabin, we are committed to developing a culture that celebrates difference and values everyone’s contribution. Nurturing our talent by providing a broad range of internal development routes remains a top priority for us.
Gender pay is separate from equal pay. Equal pay refers to differences in pay for like-for-like work whereas the gender pay gap shows the difference between average hourly earnings of men and women across the entire organisation.
The overall gender pay gap at Portakabin is driven by lower representation of women across the whole organisation.
25% of our employees are women and this is much lower in leadership positions.
To support our employees and become a more attractive employer for all genders we operate smart working - the opportunity to work flexibly, both in terms of timing and location.
Our employees benefit from our family friendly policies and our approach to working flexibly. We recognise that individuals, at all stages of their careers, are at their best at work when they can achieve an appropriate balance between work and other aspects of their lives.
We are introducing a Women’s Network in the UK to enable employees to network, share experience and facilitate broader input and learning into how we can support women to thrive and progress their careers.
We know that to further reduce our pay gap we must attract more women into the roles historically held by men. We are recruiting more women into apprenticeship, graduate and leadership roles and will continue to increase awareness of the different roles and opportunities across our organisation.
