JLL UK publishes gender pay gap report

JLL has published its gender pay gap report in the UK.

The report shows that whilst JLL’s gender pay gap has been steadily reducing since it first began reporting the figures in 2017, the latest data shows both the mean and median GPG increased marginally in 2024. The mean GPG in 2024 was 17.6%, up from 16.9% in 2023. The median GPG in 2024 was 17.4%, compared to 16.7% in 2023.

JLL cited that the shift is driven by two main factors: increased hiring of women at junior levels, and organisational transitions from commercial wins, which have brought employees into the business in less senior roles. Because these roles offer lower salaries, they contribute to wider pay gaps.

Kweku Yankson, People Partner for Northern Europe at JLL, said: “At JLL, we want everyone to feel comfortable being themselves at work and ensure we are more representative of the communities we serve. We are striving to embrace an equitable culture and close our gender pay gap.

“Understanding the dynamics behind our latest data provides valuable insights for reflection and action. To help close these gaps, we are investing in long-term efforts across recruitment, development and retention. These initiatives centre on attracting new talent, nurturing our existing employees and retaining them long term.

“We have introduced comprehensive policies and initiatives aimed at addressing the pay gap. These efforts foster leadership development, promote inclusivity and belonging, and provide support during significant life changes. By strategically acting on opportunities for improvement, we are committed to cultivating a progressive and supportive workplace environment that enables everyone to achieve their full potential.”
