SRG: the number 1 science recruiter in the UK and part of Impellam Group, have conducted the most comprehensive Salary Survey across the Science industry. The report is based on over 4,250 responses from an online survey, SRG’s global database, and the readership of New Scientist magazine - making it the science industry’s most comprehensive report of its kind. It outlines the economic and political factors currently affecting the industry, such as Brexit and the gender pay gap, with some alarming results.
Speaking about the possible impact of Brexit, Kelly Morton, Managing Director, said:
“A high proportion of employers expect to be significantly affected by Brexit. Amid the uncertainty, it’s therefore understandable that many are concentrating on keeping their current employees rather than focusing on hiring.”
But it is not just Brexit that will shape the industry going forward, SRG’s research reveals that the Gender pay gap within science has increased since last year. So as reporting legislation becomes the norm, it would appear that the industry is at a crossroads.
Morton continued:
“It’s alarming to note that the gender pay gap in science has actually increased in the last year. However, gender pay gap reporting legislation will hopefully start to make a difference as it becomes more embedded in corporate practices. It’s also pleasing that women in science earn above the national average pay for women.”
SRG’s 2018 Salary Survey is not just useful for those working in science and clinical. It provides a vital benchmarking tool for equality campaigners, HR professionals, getting more women into science and those searching for long-term, meaningful careers.
