Great place to work but lower than market salaries - Anonymous employee Weir Group Employee Review

Thanks for taking the time to share your review. It’s great to see you are experiencing a positive culture and working environment and strong support from your leader, as well as a strong wider benefits package. In response to your comments on salary, we do regularly undertake market assessments for our roles to ensure our reward and benefits packages remain competitive. With regards to your comments on diversity, we agree that we have some way to go. Indeed from a gender perspective (as that is where we have the most robust and globally consistent data), our overall global workforce is predominantly male, accounting for ~83% of our total employee population. Whilst we are encouraged by recent progress made with female senior hires, we recognise we need to further increase the focus on volume recruitment of females across the entirety of our workforce. We continue to drive our Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Strategy, enabling a culture where our employees feel they belong, feel heard and respected. We are empowering our leaders to build an inclusive culture to drive innovation and growth which includes Gender KPIs. We also have Affinity Groups which cover currently our Women and our LGBTQ+ population and we hope to help employees create further affinity groups for other aspects of diversity. During 2022 we also piloted a reverse mentoring programme and we continue to support initiatives around the globe that address some of the barriers that prevent underrepresented young people from pursuing STEM careers, as you referenced in your review.
