Improving our gender balance will take time and require sustained focus over the long-term,” the company said. HSBC, the UK’s largest bank, has revealed that its male staff are paid, on average, two and a half times more per hour than female employees in the largest gender pay gap yet reported by a leading UK business. The bank’s mean average pay gap this year is 60%, up from 59% last year. The company’s gender pay report also disclosed that less than 25% of the bank’s most senior staff are female. Women occupy over two-thirds of junior roles. HSBC said it was “committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive – including women who work at our company”.
