An area manager spoke of the barriers impacting the pay gap
Nottinghamshire’s fire service gender pay gap has reduced, but more women are needed in senior roles to encourage others to climb the ladder. That’s the message from a Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service meeting on Friday – which heard there is growing parity across job roles but not enough women work in management positions.
However, the organisation says this is down from the 12.53 per cent gap for the same period a year earlier. And it says overall, its figures do not suggest women are paid less than men for completing the same job – but more that a higher number of male employees are in senior positions across each area of the workforce.
“What we do see is women will sit in a role longer before they go for promotion, some of that I think is a confidence issue and the impact of being under-represented in the workforce.”
