Nationally, men are more likely than women to hold senior leadership positions and occupy higher-paid technical or IT-related roles. In contrast, within the sport and physical activity sector, roles centred around fitness and wellbeing - such as swimming teaching and group fitness classes - require formal qualifications and are therefore paid at higher rates. At Fusion, these roles are predominantly held by women, contributing to our ongoing gender pay gap but also reflecting our recognition of the value and professionalism these roles bring to the organisation and the communities we serve.
As a charity, we are committed to supporting the wellbeing and professional development of our employees. Over the past year, we have revised our Flexible Working Policy in line with new legislation and as part of a broader effort to ensure our teams understand the benefits of working with us. We have also increased our paternity benefits to exceed the statutory minimums significantly, further supporting our desire to be seen as an employer of choice.
Looking ahead, we are developing a suite of people analytics tools to enhance our understanding of workforce composition, gender representation, and career progression. These will include:
o The proportion of male and female applicants and hires
o Promotion application and success rates by gender
o Gender-based analysis of staff attrition and reasons for leaving
We confirm that the data presented is accurate and has been calculated in accordance with The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.
