At GroupM, we want to be responsible for shaping the next era of media, where advertising works better for people. This includes our clients, partners, the wider industry — and importantly — our people.
We believe this responsibility also extends to accurately representing the brilliantly diverse societies we operate within. We are committed to creating a working environment where people of any gender, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, social background, and any other difference, feels like they can truly belong, are treated fairly, and can succeed in their career.
Since 2017, all U.K. employers with a headcount of 250 people or above are legally required to report on their gender pay gap information. In this report we have shared our 2023 gender pay gap figures, reflective of our pay data on 5th April 2023, which is the snapshot date decided by the U.K. Government. The data in this report includes our GroupM employees who are based in the U.K., including our agencies (EssenceMediacom, EssenceMediacomX Mindshare and Wavemaker), GroupM Nexus Teams, Choreograph and GroupM Motion Entertainment.
As part of WPP, GroupM is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive culture. In order to better reflect the makeup of our organisation, this year we are therefore publishing our overall gender pay gap figures based on all UK employees irrespective of the size of the legal entity, alongside the mandatory disclosure of those over 250 employees.
