Within that year, our incentive schemes paid out more to people in the lower quartiles meaning more females received incentive related bonus that year resulting in the mean bonus gap moving significantly in favour of women.

GENDER PAY GAP REPORT 2017

Troia is therefore confident that its gender pay gap does not stem from paying men and women differently for the same or equivalent work. Rather its gender pay gap is the result of the roles in which men and women work within the organisation and the salaries that these roles attract.

This imbalance of roles is typical for our industry, however we are working towards creating more evenness between the ratio of men to women in roles and are confident that this is systemic rather than any bias in our recruitment.

We are satisfied that equality exists across job roles with structured salary bands being reviewed annually against market rates and business performance.

The bonus schemes are KPI led and paid only when those KPI’s, which are included equally across every role of the same level are met.

We are committed to ensuring that there is no restriction on the opportunity for career progression within our business.

I, Janene Pretorius, Director of People, confirm that the information in this statement is accurate.
