Blue-chip companies to look at female work pay and conditions
Around nine blue-chip companies are to review the pay and conditions of their female staff as part of a government review of inequalities between men and women in the workplace.
Information supplied by the companies, which will include British Airways and Granada, will be used by the Kingsmill Review on Women's Employment and Pay.
Steered by Denise Kingsmill, the deputy chairman of the Competition Commission, the government initiative was established to ensure that women working in the UK get treated fairly at work.
As well as looking at differences in salary, the nine companies will examine issues such as whether women are put into certain types of job, such as administrative posts and support roles, which may limit their ability to get promoted. They will also look at the rate at which men and women get promoted.
The other companies, which have agreed to carry out the review, are Citigroup, Unilever, Littlewoods, Compass HSBC Bank and Centrica. (MB)
