In March 2024, our workforce identified as 91 males (36%) and 160 females (64%).
When dividing our workforce of 251 employees into four equal quartiles, women are overrepresented in all of the lower pay quartiles but underrepresented in the highest pay quartile. This is due to HSU being a small institution, proud not to outsource traditionally lower paid roles such as customer service representatives, receptionists, administrators and catering. These types of roles are predominantly filled by females and evaluated at a lower rate of pay due to the requirements of the role. The larger number of males in upper quartile might also be linked to historically Chiropractic being dominated by male students, hence more senior colleagues at HSU also being male. However, due to diversification of subjects offered by HSU this historical issue is being reviewed as new senior employees are joining our workforce.
HSU offer a comprehensive flexible working package: 61% of our female staff formally work flexibly, as do 32% of our male staff. We offer part-time opportunities and term time hours contracts which naturally attract more female workers to join HSU, with less male counterparts seeking flexible working arrangements.
