Event details
The gender pay reporting requirement started slowly, with fewer than 200 of the 9,000 employers having reporting in the first six months. But with the first year’s reports in from April 2018, what did we learn from the published data? What do the six required statistics tell us and what did employers choose to describe in their voluntary narratives?
Even more importantly, how will organisations be reporting in the coming years and what should you be doing to support the reduction of disclosed gaps over time?
Using evidence and data from their academic research for the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), analyses of all published reports, research case studies and their client work across all sectors of the economy, IES experts offered practical and evidence-based knowledge to support improved reporting and the closure of gender pay gaps.
