Annual Report 2025 39
Growing our team of difference makers
Working at Pobl means being part of an organisation that values support, development, and
inclusivity. There are real opportunities for career progression, which has been evidenced in the
number of internal promotions numbers over the last year. Flexibility is another key aspect of our
work culture which helps attract great talent. Colleagues appreciate the ability to work in an agile
way, choose shifts and easily adjust schedules, making it an environment that supports a good
work‐life balance. During the year 12,671 job applications were received, and 791 posts were filled,
of which 345 were colleagues moving to new roles in the Group. Six were appointed via the ‘Refer
a Difference Maker’ scheme.
Gender Pay Reporting
We are proud to encourage diversity and actively seek opportunities to ensure our team reflects a
wide range of backgrounds and perspectives. The Group operates a pay framework ensuring equal
pay for each job role, regardless of gender. However, the diversity of markets in which we operate
means the proportion of each gender in these roles varies significantly, and our gender pay gap
exists because of the dominance of each gender in these different markets.
Median
CEO to median worker pay
Our current CEO to median pay ratio is 9.28x (2024: 9.43x). The most recent sector comparison
showed this represented the lowest CEO pay per property managed of any Welsh Registered Social
Landlord (RSL) at £9/property (2024: £10.90), compared to a sector average of £75.18/property.
It was also the lowest CEO pay per million pounds of turnover of any Welsh RSL at £919 (2024:
£1,087) compared to a sector average of £6,799. This means the CEO's pay is considerably lower
than the sector average in terms of both pay per property managed and pay per million pounds
turnover. Specifically, it is approximately 18% of the sector average, indicating a more cost‐effective
CEO compensation relative to turnover compared to the broader sector.
