MEN AND WOMEN:
FOCUS ON PAY GAP
To uncover and eliminate possible injustices in the pay of men and women, Röhm conducted a comprehensive gender pay gap analysis in Germany. The data analysis revealed that the pay gap between men and women at Röhm is 5.6 percent.
This puts the company at a good level compared to the German industry and the chemical industry in particular - but there is still room for improvement.
The next step for Röhm will be to extend the newly developed analysis model to international sites in the USA and China to gain a complete picture of pay differences across the Group. At the same time, the model will be continuously improved and developed, using new insights to fine-tune it.
What is the gender pay gap?
The gender pay gap describes the difference in earnings between men and women. There are two calculation methods: the unadjusted and the adjusted gender pay gap. The unadjusted pay gap considers all professions without distinguishing between full-time, part-time, or career level. In Germany, according to this calculation, women earn 16 percent less per hour than men. The EU average difference is 12.7 percent. The adjusted gender pay gap compares only equivalent tasks and qualifications. In Germany, this reveals a gap of 6 percent, meaning that women earn less even under comparable conditions.
