With the second round of gender pay gap reporting approaching, companies should be thinking about how they can build on their first reports, taking control of the narrative and using it as a springboard for positive stakeholder engagement.

Spring 2018 saw the first round of gender pay gap reporting. Organisations in Great Britain with over 250 employees were required to collect data on six pay metrics and publish a public report, in order to identify any gender pay gap that may exist.

For those of you involved in producing your organisation’s gender pay gap report, the first round may have been a challenging exercise. It might have involved introducing new procedures, or collating and analysing potentially complex data that might not be readily available.

We saw a significant range in the standard of reporting, from pure compliance to those going above and beyond. In this white paper we take a look at what we learned from our analysis of those first reports, identifying examples of best practice and areas for further improvement and potential development.
