'Irish Examiner' narrows gender pay gap

In terms of representation at the various pay grades, 65% of those on the highest wages are men — a slight increase from the 62% reported in 2023

The company said it plans to do this by reviewing and enhancing their recruitment process to reduce the potential for 'unconscious bias and unintended barriers'.

The gender pay gap at the Irish Examiner and The Echo newspapers have dropped to under its target of 5% during 2024, a report from the company shows.

This is the first year of reporting on the gender pay gap in the Irish Examiner and The Echo. It shows that between 2023 and 2024, there has been a closure of the mean and median gender pay gap within the company.
