HOW IS OUR WORKFORCE MADE UP? As a restaurant business, we have more employees in our restaurants than our restaurant support centre (RSC). HOW DO WE CALCULATE GENDER PAY? The gender pay gap is calculated by taking the hourly rate of all women and the hourly rate of all men in our business and then calculating the mean (this is the average – you add up all numbers and divide by the number of people) and median (this is the middle number from the list of numbers in order) hourly rates. We then calculate the gap by determining the difference between these numbers across men and women. GENDER PAY GAP REPORT 2018 INTRODUCTION FROM NEIL PIPER, CHIEF PEOPLE OFFICER You often hear that KFC is a people business that happens to sell chicken and I couldn’t agree more. Whether it is our amazing culture, our incredible partnerships, our passion for leadership development, training, education, coaching and mentoring, there is no doubt that it really is a great place to work. At the core of all of these aspects of working here is our fundamental belief in doing things the right way and treating everyone fairly. The publication of our gender pay gap information provides us with an opportunity to remind ourselves of how diversity and inclusion are at the core of how we work. We are fully supportive of the need for transparency in organizations but more importantly, that this reporting requirement by the government is a great catalyst for organizations across the UK to continue the much needed focus on diversity, inclusion and equality. You’ll see below that our mean gender pay gap is 6.6% and median 0%. To be clear, any gap is not good enough and we’ve already taken steps to improve further, however I am proud of the fact that this is significantly below the UK national average of 18.4% (ASHE, October 2017). The 6.6% mean gap shows we still have work to do, mainly with our bonus pay, which is driven by having more men in senior roles than women; and our actions on inclusion, recruitment and trust at the end of this report will give you an insight into the roadmap we are following to close this gap, something that we are fully committed to achieving. The fact that the median gap is 0% shows that we are truly focused on paying and rewarding people regardless of their gender, based on their performance, skills, experience and potential; and reflects the hard work and importance given to this by you all on a daily basis. I am so proud of our people, teams and culture and remain fully committed to closing this gap through our action plan. WHAT IS THE GENDER PAY GAP? From April 2018, all employers with over 250 employees must report their gender pay gap. The gender pay gap measures the difference in the average pay of women and men from across the whole business. It does not measure equal pay which is the right for men and women to be paid the same when doing the same or equivalent work. We are committed to being an equal pay employer. There can be a number of reasons for a gender pay gap for example, a gender imbalance in the different levels of roles or of particular types of role. A gender pay gap can also be due to socio-economic reasons such as women employees taking up lower paid or part time roles due to childcare responsibilities. WHAT IS OUR APPROACH TO GENDER PAY? We are fully committed to being a diverse and inclusive employer and we pay people based on their skills, experience and qualifications rather than their gender. Our people approach is centred on building a diverse and inclusive workplace as we firmly believe that this is the right thing to do and also drives the success of our employees and our business.
