Celebrating Our Impressive WGEA Results for 2024

We are thrilled to announce our outstanding results from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) for 2024. Our commitment to gender equality and creating an inclusive workplace has yielded impressive outcomes, and we are proud to share these achievements with you.
 

Gender Pay Gap

Our latest results show that H&R Block's gender pay gap is significantly below both the national average and industry benchmarks.

Here are the key highlights:

• Average total remuneration gender pay gap: 7.2%, compared to the national average of 21.8%.
• Median total remuneration gender pay gap: Reduced from 8.5% in 2023 to just 0.6% in 2024.
• Median base salary gender pay gap: Now at an incredible 0.1%, compared to the national median of 13.6%.

These results demonstrate our ongoing efforts to reduce the gender pay gap year on year, ensuring fair and equitable compensation for all our employees.
 

Workforce Composition

We are proud to foster a diverse and inclusive workforce, with strong female representation across all levels of our business:

• Overall representation of women: Increased from 67% in 2023 to 68% in 2024, compared to the national average of 51%.
• Representation of women at senior levels: Now at 66%, reflecting our commitment to promoting women into leadership roles.

Recognising this achievement, Brodie Dixon, Managing Director of H&R Block, shares:
"These outstanding WGEA results reflect our unwavering commitment to pay equity, gender diversity, and inclusive leadership. At H&R Block, we are dedicated to building a workplace where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. While we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, we remain focused on driving even greater positive change for the future."
 

Creating Flexible and Rewarding Career Pathways

Beyond pay equity, we are committed to helping individuals build rewarding careers in tax and accounting. Many of our employees started their journey with us through the H&R Block Income Tax Course, an industry-recognised program that provides expert training and career opportunities.

For Nayiry, an Office Manager and mother of three, flexibility has been life-changing:
"My husband and I enrolled in the Income Tax Course when our eldest daughter was just three months old… The biggest benefit of working with H&R Block for me has been the flexibility. I have three daughters now, and I love that I can adjust my hours to balance work with family commitments."
