Virgin Media Ireland reports gender pay gap of 22% via IrishTimesBiz
“External and societal factors” mean men are over-represented in its technical functions, which account for the largest number of jobs in the company, it said.“Tenure of men in areas such as our large technical function contributes to higher salaries and therefore the gender pay gap,” the report states.
Virgin Media Ireland, which is led by chief executive Tony Hanway and owned by John Malone’s cable giant Liberty Global, said it took its commitment to equality and fairness seriously and was already “on the journey” to increasing the representation of women across its business.
“We will take steps to nurture women into fields and roles traditionally over-represented by men, ensuring we offer a working environment where everyone can thrive and progress their careers,” it said.
