Evidence-informed actions to reduce your gender pay gap and support employees experiencing menopause.
From April 2026, employers with 250 or more employees will be able to produce and publish a voluntary action plan alongside their gender pay gap data. These will become mandatory from spring 2027, subject to secondary legislation.
