There has been a sharp increase in the numbers of people employed by the Council since 2020 due to North Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture Trust coming back into the Council. However, this has made little difference to the composition of the workforce by sex.

This implies that many more males have moved into the top 2% bracket. The number of females in the top 5% of earners has increased by 9%.

The percentage of women earners in the top 2% has dropped from 71% in 2017 to 22.26% in 2022.

Flexible Working - Applications to work flexibly

Female applications

39 (95.12%)

97.43% of those application were successful

Male applications

2 (4.88%)

100.00% of those applications were successful.

 

The number of applications to work flexibly has significantly reduced since 2020. This may be for a couple of reasons – the move to hybrid working post-pandemic has allowed some employees the work/life balance to mitigate any need to apply for flexible working and/or the manager has not recorded an application on iTrent.  

Women are concentrated in the lowest paid grades in the organisation making up 98.11% of NLC1 post. This trend only begins to change at NLC5.
