Gender Pay Gap Report 2026
LONDON 7 April 2026 – JLL has published its gender pay gap report in the UK. The report shows that JLL's gender pay gap (GPG) has increased in 2025. The mean GPG in 2025 was 18.5%, up from 17.6% in 2024. The median GPG in 2025 was 18.4%, compared to 17.4% in 2024.
JLL cited that the shift is driven primarily by workforce composition, which has led to an imbalance in gender representation. The makeup of the business has changed due to commercial wins and the services provided; there continues to be fewer female colleagues at the most senior levels in comparison to their male counterparts, and widening gaps are also attributed to increased junior-level hiring with higher female representation.
Matthew Richards, CEO JLL UK and Head of EMEA Capital Markets, said: "Creating an environment where everyone feels they belong is core to our purpose of shaping the future of real estate for a better world. We believe a more diverse workplace is a better workplace and are striving to create an inclusive and equitable culture.
"Whilst we have made significant strides in fostering an inclusive workplace culture, there is clearly still lots more to be done, and we remain committed to addressing the root causes of our pay gaps to ensure better outcomes for the future.”
Debra Dean, Head of HR UK & EMEA Capital Markets, added: "We will centre our focus on strategic improvements in how we attract, develop, and retain talent across all levels of our organisation. Through targeted initiatives, we’re building a stronger foundation for sustainable progress. Our commitment remains firm: to create an environment where everyone can reach their full potential.”
In 2025, JLL continued its commitment to gender equity through focused action across three key areas: supporting women's health, safety and wellbeing; fostering connection, community and networks; and expanding career growth, skills and opportunity.
