April 5 – The English Football Association has reported its gender pay gap has been reduced to 2.2%, which it says is below the national average of 15.5%.
The FA has also reported its ethnicity pay gap which it says has also reduced year on year, with a median ethnicity pay gap of -8.5%, while its mean ethnicity pay gap is now -2.1%, both in favour of Black, Asian, Mixed or other ethnic background employees.
The FA has about 850 employees.
Rachel Brace, The FA’s HR Director, said: “A significant part of our efforts to make English football truly a game for all is ensuring that our workforce at every level continues to become more diverse and feels even more inclusive. We have made a significant difference to the female representation of our workforce over the past few years, hiring and retaining talented women at all levels. This progress is reflected in a progressively lower gender pay gap year on year.
“We are proud of this progress and remain committed to going further as we seek to better reflect modern society and the communities we serve,” she continued.
The FA launched its latest equality, diversity and inclusion strategy, A Game For All, in October 2021.
