Gender pay gap basics for agency leaders - (what it is, how it's calculated, what drives it)

This is a practical foundations session for UK agency founders and leaders who want to understand what the gender pay gap actually measures, how it’s calculated, and the most common reasons it shows up in agencies. I’ll also share current agency sector data from Agency by Agency, so you can see how agencies compare.

What you'll walk away with:

 ✅ Clarity on what the gender pay gap actually measures

 ✅ Actionable insights into why it exists and how to make improvements in your agency

 ✅ An understanding of how your business financial and operational performance could be impacted by it

 ✅ A practical checklist to assess which areas your agency could improve and immediate next steps to take

Who this is for:

✔️ All UK based agency founders and leaders - who want to profitable, efficient and fair businesses

✔️ Agencies with 2-100 people (ideal for agencies with 10-50). The earlier you start, the bigger impact you can make

✔️ Agency leaders who want to understand why a pay gap can exist even in a business with majority women and transparent pay bands.

✔️ Agency leaders who are  ready to take meaningful action to improve their business

This is not for large agencies (250+) who are already GPG reporting.

The hidden biases they might not realise are there - and how it could be negatively impacting your financial and operational performance.
