In March 2025, our workforce identified as 134 males (36%) and 237 females (64%).
When dividing our workforce of 371 employees into four equal quartiles, women are overrepresented in both of the lower pay quartiles but underrepresented in the upper middle quartile and almost equally represented in highest pay quartile. This is due to HSU being a small institution, proud not to outsource traditionally lower paid roles such as 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 the upper quartile might also be linked to the Chiropractic field historically 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. Additionally, after merging with UCO in August 2024, the number of females in both upper quartiles has increased, making it almost even in upper quartile.
