It is worthwhile to note that in our industry it can be challenging to attract those of the female gender as the processing element of the business is not always a suitable working environment. Consequently, only 26% of the workforce is of the female gender predominately due to the nature of the business.
Liffey Meats is an equal pay employer – men and women performing equal work receive equal pay. There is a Mean Pay Gap of 18.1%. This is predominately due to the fact that the most senior positions within the company have been occupied for a considerable period of time by individuals of the male gender who have a specific knowledge of the beef industry. The Median gap of 7.2% can also be attributed to the same reason.
Plans
Liffey Meats plans include:
Recruitment & Retention
Liffey Meats has actively developed our interview skills training to reduce any possibility of potential bias. We also seek to be more conscious about hiring females and a broader diversity of talent. We are committed to providing more females with an opportunity to join and progress within the business.

I confirm that the information and data reported is accurate as at the snapshot date of 30th June 2022.
