Addressing gender pay imbalances
Our compensation programmes help us to attract, motivate and reward our employees. Our programmes include base pay, bonus pay, shares, health and wellness, learning and career development, retirement and other reward and recognition programmes.
At Boston Scientific, providing equal pay for equal work is rooted in our values and essential to attract and retain a diverse and engaged workforce. We are committed to ensuring all compensation decisions are made without bias. For example, we offer consistent compensation programmes that are market-driven; our pay structures and bonus targets are driven by performance and benchmarked against the market. In addition, our annual pay review process is performance-based, ensuring managers set and review compensation in a way that is gender neutral.
We have implemented a structured process to comply with local regulations wherever we operate and identify best practices. Please find results below from our UK and France gender pay analysis.
