Malhotra Group PLC is required by law to publish an annual gender pay gap report due to the number of employees within our organisation. We welcome the opportunity to analyse our data, and are pleased to confirm that, for the second year, our results show that we have significantly lower gender pay gap differentials in comparison to the key Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE) figures. We are also pleased to report that our overall statistics have improved since last years’ reporting figures were released.
