LotusWorks Gender Pay Gap
LotusWorks embrace diversity, uniqueness, and individuality so that we can lead the way towards an inclusive workplace for all. Over the past number of years, an increasing focus has been brought to gender pay gap as a means of highlighting the need for increased focus on gender diversity in the workplace.
According to Engineers Ireland female engineers represent just 12% of the profession in Ireland, latest data from the Higher Education Authority indicates that 23% of engineering graduates are female. Further analysis shows that the pay gap is largely driven by significantly lower female participation in engineering roles. This statistic is reflected in LotusWorks’ workforce split of 88% male to 12% female.
