// The pay difference has narrowed to 5% this year from 10% in 2019

Travis Perkins has revealed that its gender pay gap has halved compared to the previous year, according to its latest pay gap report.

The report measures the average pay difference between Travis Perkins’ 28,000 male and female colleagues, which narrowed to five per cent this year from 10 per cent in 2019.

The median improvement was even more significant and showed a nearly eight per cent improvement on the previous year to three per cent in 2020 from 11 per cent in 2019.

Across the group, the balance across the pay quartiles was also improved, and at the forefront of closing the gap was the company’s Toolstation business, where the pay gap is now 0.6 per cent, and there is a consistent distribution of gender across all quartile roles.

In line with the The Gender Pay Gap Regulations, Travis Perkins has reported annually on the gender pay gap since 2017.

“Last year we made significant progress in narrowing the gender pay gap in our business and achieved some major milestones on our journey to become a more inclusive employer,” Travis Perkins HR director Emma Rose said.

“This involved making significant progress towards paying the Real Living Wage to our colleagues, and launching new, progressive Family Leave policies.

“We have much more to do but our progress this year is an indication of the passion and energy we have to be seen as a modern and inclusive employer.

“We will continue to accelerate this progress by committing to attract a more diverse range of colleagues to our business, which can only benefit our culture, ways of working, and of course, business performance.”

Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant.
