Latest Gender Pay Gap Report
Health Services Staffs Credit Union (HSSCU) has published its second Gender Pay Gap Report, which is now available on our website and can be viewed via the link below. The report highlights the percentage difference between the average pay of men and women across our organisation, regardless of role or level.
The gender pay gap measures the difference in average hourly earnings between men and women. It is calculated in two ways: the mean, which represents the average of all values, and the median, which represents the middle value. For context, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) reported that Ireland’s overall gender pay gap was 9.6% in 2022.
About The Publication
Commenting on the publication, Louise McQuillan, HRD Manager, said:
“We are pleased to publish Health Services Staff’s Credit Union’s 2026 Gender Pay Gap Report, which highlights the progress we have made in building an inclusive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to develop and succeed.
Our gender pay gap remains significantly below the national average and the wider financial services sector, with female representation continuing to increase across higher pay quartiles. We also recorded a notable improvement in our bonus gap outcomes.
Throughout the year, we delivered a number of initiatives under our Gender Pay Gap Action Plan, including enhanced recruitment processes, interviewer training, policy reviews, and a revised salary structure for Member Services Officers and Member Services Executives. These actions support fair and transparent decision-making and help prepare us for the forthcoming EU Pay Transparency Directive.
While encouraged by our progress, we remain committed to continuous improvement. We thank our staff, managers, Board of Directors, and members for their ongoing support as we continue to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and able to reach their full potential.”
Together, we will continue to build a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Our remuneration structure is based on salary scales aligned to grades and levels within the organisation, helping to support pay equity and reduce the potential for gender-based pay disparities. However, this report, together with our ongoing audits and research, highlights the importance of maintaining transparency in our reward and remuneration practices.
