Analysis by Camden Council of pay, headcount and pensions revealed an increase in the representation of Black, Asian and Other Ethnicity staff at all levels in the council in its annual pay gap findings.
It found that for 2021-22 found that the council is continuing to make positive progress in closing any existing pay gaps, and that its staff at senior grades are becoming more representative of Camden’s community.
There is “no significant gender pay gap” in pay, the analysis found.
The report, released to coincide with International Women’s Day, also included a pension gender gap report.
On average for every £1 of pension paid to men, women receive 75p.
This gap begins to appear at about age 30, when pay disparity generally begins to favour men and the number of women working part time increases.
Jo Brown, director of people and inclusion, said: “We have been voluntarily reporting our gender, ethnicity and disability pay gap since 2015, and we continue to be one of only a few organisations that continue to go beyond the statutory reporting requirements.
“We believe that by shining a light on any disparity in pay and pensions you can acknowledge the issues that exist and begin to talk about how to fix them.”
Brown said she knows the council has “much more” to do, but that she is pleased work is having a positive impact.
