As an employer with over 250 employees, we are required to publish our Gender Pay Gap.
This is the third time we have reported this information and it is based on data as at April 2019.
I can confirm that I believe the calculations are an accurate representation of that data.
What the figures show are:
- At Integrate, women earn £1 for every £1 that men earn when comparing median hourly wages. This is a small change from last year when women earned 0.1% more than men.
- When comparing mean hourly wages, women’s mean hourly wage is 4.4% lower than men’s. This a change from last year when the women’s mean hourly rate is 1.8% lower than men’s.
- No bonuses were paid.
The reason for the gap is shown in the table below:
The primary reason for the deterioration in the results is that the ratio between men and women in the Lower Middle quartile moved to 63.3% from 54.3% this was due to the recruitment of more women in support roles. This had the effect of increasing the number of women below the mean by 20 and thereby reducing the mean for this year. In comparison, the number of men below the mean remained relatively unchanged (+1). The net effect resulted in an increase of the mean gap to 4.4% from 1.8%.
The Median gap of -0.1% was eliminated this year, partly as a consequence of the increased number of women mentioned above. The change was not as pronounced due to the large number of men and women in that median pay band.
We will continue to work on removing the Gender Pay Gap on the mean measure and I will keep you informed on progress later in the year.

Gender Pay Gap Reporting – 3 April 2019
As an employer with over 250 employees we are required to publish our Gender Pay Gap.
This is the second time we have reported this information and it is based on data as at April 2018.
I can confirm that I believe the calculations are an accurate representation of that data.
What the figures show are:
- Women’s mean hourly rate is 1.8% lower than men’s – In other words when comparing mean hourly rates, women earn 98p for every £1 that men earn. This is an improvement on the 2.2% we reported last year.
- Women’s median hourly rates are 0.1% above the men’s rate meaning we pay women fractionally more than men on the median measure. This is a small change on last year when women and men were paid the same.
- No bonuses were paid.
The reason for the gap is shown in the table below:
The primary reason for the improvement in the results is that although the ratio between women and women across the organisation is broadly unchanged the proportion of women in the lower quartile reduced from 64.4% to 55.1%.
It is encouraging to note that this improvement is also reflected in the two middle quartiles, though to a lesser extent, but this does show that the work carried out by The Systems Workstream, which looked at ways to improve progression in the organisation, has been effective.
We will continue to work on removing the Gender Pay Gap on the mean measure and I will keep you informed on progress later in the year.

Support worker Anton Toussaint visits two or three people in a day to help them enjoy time in their community and meet new people. Here he tells us about a day in the life of a support worker at Integrate from cooking to football matches.
“This is the first job that I have had in care and I have been here five years now, I have spent most of my other work life in schools as a learning mentor and have also worked in call centres and solicitors.
“The time here has flown, I had reached a stage in life that the 9-5 office environment was not for me, I needed to be active and around people – so this has been perfect for that.
“When I first applied for the job, I knew I would be working with people who had learning differences, but I did not envisage day trips and being out in the community so much – it has enriched the job for me.
“It does not seem like work sometimes – it feels like you are having a fun day out and being paid for it. Seeing how much I can help change someone’s life by taking part in activities with them from going to Preston North End to cooking together is amazing. I look at some of the people I have worked with when I started five years ago to now and there is a massive difference in them, they are more confident and there is a joy in their lives.”
