The data shows that on average Women’s mean hourly pay is more than men, but that bonus pay is less.

Although a higher proportion of female employees are eligible to receive a bonus payment compared to their male counterparts, their average bonus payment is currently lower as a result of their distribution across the bonus eligible grades.

At Nissan we believe that diversity is an important strength and is vital to the success of our business. Our people are our most valuable asset, and we pride ourselves on being an equal opportunities employer with a range of initiatives in place to help develop our female workforce, these include:

• 1-2-1 mentoring opportunities for all employees and coaching for new people managers.
• Active women’s ally networks across all Nissan UK sites that support the female population. The ERGs provide support, visibility and advocacy for women across the workforce, strengthening inclusion and acting as a collective voice to leadership.
• Yearly health awareness campaigns on breast cancer and menopause, with a menopause pathway now included in our private healthcare.
• New Parent Coaching, supporting women as new parents and at work. Coaching is offered before the employee is due to go on maternity leave, with further sessions planned once they return to work to help transition back to working life.
• Flexible working opportunities – indirect employees can request to work from home for up to 2 days per week and have the ability to adjust their working hours by + / – 2 hours. Direct employees can request to work fixed shifts (either fixed days / fixed lates) or 50% shifts.
• Free sanitary products in all female toilets across the plant plus a dedicated nursing room for parents returning to work.

We’re also working hard on how we develop the talent of the future and for over 10 years we have been inspiring young minds through hands-on learning in Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics (STEM) with the Nissan Skills Foundation. Launched in 2015, the programme offers 13 different STEM courses for more than 100k children, with over 65% being female.

I can confirm that the information and data reported is accurate.
