The gender pay gap, the difference between what men and women earn, has narrowed at RTÉ.
The mean gender pay gap as of June this year was 8.85%, down from 10.09% last year.
The median gender pay gap at RTÉ is 11.18%, down from 12.74% in 2024.
The mean pay gap is the difference between the average hourly rate of pay for women, compared to the average hourly rate of pay for men.
The median pay gap represents the difference in hourly pay between the middle-placed woman and the middle-placed man.
RTÉ's first gender pay gap report was published in December 2022 and revealed a mean gender pay gap of 11.55% and a median gender pay gap of 13.03%.
In 2023, the mean gender pay gap was 11.29% and the median gender pay gap was 12.75%.
RTÉ said that staff grades that receive overtime payments significantly impact the overall figures.
Excluding these grades, the mean gender pay gap stands at 6.52% and the median at 3.20%.
The broadcaster said there is a gender balance across its Leadership Team and the RTÉ Board, and there is a 45:55 female to male gender ratio across all management grades.
"Headcount variations throughout the year, driven by live events, staff movements and operational needs, create natural shifts in the metrics that require longer-term tracking to fully assess," RTÉ said.
In a message to staff, RTÉ Director General Kevin Bakhurst said the figures provide transparency on its progress during a year of significant organisational transformation.
"I am encouraged to see RTÉ’s gender pay gap narrow further this year, continuing a trend from our first report in 2022," Mr Bakhurst said.
"There is more work to do, and we are committed to continue to move this dial," he said.
"We are encouraged to see that the trend is in the right direction, particularly given the complexity of RTÉ as an organisation which operates with a very low turnover of staff. However, I personally won't be satisfied until the gap is zero," he added.
Since 2024, all employers with over 150 employees have been legally obliged to report on their gender pay gap.
This year, the requirement was extended to all employers with over 50 staff.
The deadline for companies to publish their gender pay gap reports is 30 November.
