Our strategic aim is to sustain Imperial as a world-leading research-intensive university and ensure our mission is fit for the post-COVID era. Imperial's academic, teaching, professional, technical and operational staff are the key to our success and to maintaining our leading position.
Our Total Remuneration Package (TRP) for staff is a key component of realising the Imperial’s strategic aim, with the salary we offer forming a crucial part of the package. This page outlines the principles upon which our approach to salary is based and the processes through which we review it regularly.
Equality of pay
We are committed to ensuring equality of pay for all staff and to eliminating any pay gaps. Analysing pay data is a crucial part of the work undertaken by Human Resources and forms a key part of Imperial’s drive to eliminate pay imbalances and ensure that all staff in like work, (regardless of gender and ethnicity), receive equal pay.
This year, Imperial undertook and published its fourth Gender Pay Gap exercise in addition to its first Ethnicity Pay Gap. These reviews will continue to be carried out annually. The gender and ethnicity pay gaps have arisen from an under-representation of women and Black and Minority Ethnic staff in senior grades at Imperial. Although the gaps are closing, progress is slow, and Imperial is putting action plans in place to identify ways to improve them and close them further. To view the findings and the action Imperial is taking to eliminate the gender and ethnicity pay gaps, please visit the gender and ethnicity pay review webpages.
