Details
From April 2026, employers will be able to create and publish a voluntary action plan alongside their gender pay gap data. This applies to organisations with 250 or more employees.
Action plans will show the steps organisations are taking to:
-
reduce their gender pay gap
-
support employees experiencing menopause
To help employers take effective action, we have provided a list of 18 recommended, evidence-informed actions. Employers must choose at least 2 actions in their first action plan.
