The Future of Banking – Why pay, diversity and inclusion matters

Chartered Banker Institute and PwC are hosting an upcoming event on pay, diversity and inclusion. 

With two years having passed since the launch of HM Treasury’s ‘Women in Finance’ Charter and one year on since the gender pay gap legislation, much has changed and still needs to change in terms of diversity in the workplace, and the issues which surround this, including progression and gender pay equality?

Issues of diversity and equality are at the top of agendas in banking, business and many other walks of life - and rightly so. With more than 50% of Institute members now female, these issues are top of the Chartered Banker Institute’s agenda too. For banking to enhance and sustain the ethical professionalism on which we depend, fair treatment of customers’ needs to be accompanied by the fair treatment of - and equality of opportunity for - all our colleagues.

According to our latest survey on gender diversity and progression in the workplace, conducted in partnership with The Finance Foundation, there are still significant barriers standing in the way of sufficiently rapid progress. To gain fresh insights into why our members believe this is the case, we surveyed more than 500 members at all levels in banking on topics ranging from perceptions around career progression barriers to opinions on pay transparency across the industry. To find out more, you can download our report.

Come and hear us discuss our findings from the research we conducted and latest thoughts from a group of industry academic experts on this topic.
