Pay Analysis
For 2023 to 2024, the mean gender hourly pay gap is 15.8%. The median hourly pay gap between women and men is 6.1%.
When reviewing the employees against internal pay ranges women are predominantly positioned the same or higher than men within the range for the specific job family and grade level. There is a minimal gap. The overall pay gap is impacted by a small number of women in senior positions.
Women in NTT DATA Ireland account for 29% of the total population. The entire industry (Ireland 25% as of date) has work to do regarding gender parity, and NTT DATA Services is committed to increasing the percentage of women especially in middle and senior level positions.
The distribution of the population in the pay quartiles shows robust women presence in the upper middle quartile and limited presence in the upper quartile.
Bonus Analysis
NTT DATA Services rewards for performance, and employees have equal opportunities to participate in incentive payment plans. Specific plans are determined by role and job grade. For our 2024 results, 82% of men and 86% women received a bonus. Men received higher mean bonus payouts by 18.7%, than their female counterparts, and 36.6% on the median.
The bonus gap is significantly impacted by sales commissions and the minimal presence of women in sales and senior roles.
Benefit In Kind
Regarding the proportions of male and female employees who received benefits-in-kind, in NTT DATA Ireland the medical insurance is the main offering where BIK is paid by the employee. We have 81% females and 91% males who currently pay BIK. Medical Insurance is a benefit offered to all employees and is fully paid for by the company, the difference in the numbers availing of the insurance is down to personal choice.

“Diversity and inclusion are one of our top corporate priorities, and our commitment is illustrated by the small pay gap identified in Ireland at individual grade levels. Even so, we have work to do, and we’re focused on recruitment efforts and support systems that will lead to a more gender-balanced workforce. We view this as both a moral and business imperative. Fairness is the right thing to do, and credible research proves that gender balance leads to better financial results, increased market share and greater innovation.”
