5 years of gender pay – What have we learnt? What has changed? How can we progress beyond headline reporting?

Gender Pay | Gender Pay Gap | Gender Pay Reporting

Once every year thousands of companies are required to publish their new gender pay gap figures, and that ‘snapshot’ date has just ticked over for 2023. For most public authority employers, the clock strikes at midnight on 30 March and for everybody else the figures are due five days later at midnight on 4 April.

Six years have now passed since gender pay gap reporting was first made mandatory in the UK and nobody could deny that issues of gender distribution in business remain the same: in simple terms, there are more men at the top and more women at the bottom.

Only five years have passed since gender pay gap reporting was first made mandatory in the UK and a lot has gone on since 2017. Before the pandemic, we were only just starting to scratch the surface in terms of drawing patterns and tracing trends, and furlough blew a lot of that data out of the window by opening up short term pay gaps which are only now starting to recede back. The data and data-gathering in this whole area is still very immature and could certainly benefit from more introspection, checks and balances in several key areas.

Gender Pay | Gender Pay Gap | Gender Pay Reporting

According to the Office for National Statistics’ own data, the Gender Pay Gap (GPG) stood at 27.5% in 1997 and much has been done to redress the imbalance. In 2016 the ONS figure had fallen to 18.1%.

Since the inception of gender pay gap reporting we’ve seen an increased focus across the board on equality in a whole breadth of areas. Mirroring an entire society will not be possible in every workplace but more than ever it has become important to be open to the idea.

Since the Gender Pay Gap Regulations came into effect in 2017 organisations with more than 250 employees have been reporting their gender pay gap. Increasingly organisations with fewer than 250 employees, and therefore not required to report, have been publishing their gender pay gap as the importance and value of reporting continues to be seen.

As one gender pay year closes, another begins. 9,908 organisations have reported their gender pay gap details on the Government’s website as of close of the 2021/22 reporting year, which is roughly 93% of all required organisations.

Gender Pay | Gender Pay Reporting
