However, now that we have a greater awareness of the situation, we can work on different initiatives to ensure that we close this gap. In fact, at the start of 2018, Aqualisa introduced a focused development programme to help progress those employees that are viewed to be high achievers. 59% of those identified are women, which will undoubtedly allow us to take positive steps towards closing our gender pay gap.

At Aqualisa we also provide in-depth training to all our Recruiting Line Managers to ensure equal opportunities are adhered to, and women as well as men are fully supported when applying for senior positions.
