Equality and diversity at Be One Homes:
- Our core purpose is to provide homes and neighbourhoods to support people to build a better life, and we want to do this in a fair and responsible way.
In an increasingly diverse world we must understand people’s differences. By doing this, we can develop and make changes to our services and be confident that everyone has fair and equal access to them.
As part of our efforts, we’ve signed up to the Chartered Institute of Housing’s Equality and Diversity Charter. This means we are committed to the following eight principles:
- Equality and diversity is driven from the top.
- Equality and diversity informs our business planning.
- Equality and diversity shapes our organisational culture.
- Equality and diversity is supported through staff training, development and engagement.
- We know who our customers are.
- We involve our customers in shaping and scrutinising services.
- We represent the communities which we serve.
- We support the communities which we serve.
We’re also a member of the Manchester LGBT Housing Group. This was set up to look at what happens for LGBT people in housing in the Greater Manchester area. This group has produced a guide on housing rights for LGBT people over 50 in the North West.
Read our Gender Pay Gap Statement:
- Please note that our current Gender Pay Gap Statement was created when we were known as Bolton at Home. An updated version will be published soon.
The Gender Pay Gap shows the difference in the average pay between all men and women in a workforce. If a workforce has a particularly high Gender Pay Gap, this can indicate that there may be a number of issues to deal with.
The Gender Pay Gap is different from equal pay. Equal pay deals with the pay differences between men and women who carry out the same jobs, similar jobs or work of equal value. It is unlawful to pay people unequally because they are a man or a woman.
For this report, hourly pay is calculated using base pay, allowances and bonuses paid in the relevant pay period as defined in the regulations.
“We confirm that our data has been calculated and interpreted according to the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and the Gender Pay Gap Information Regulations 2017.”
- Noel Sharpe, our Chief Executive
