The first year of pay gap reporting – breakfast with Sam Smethers, Fawcett Society

By April 2018, companies in the UK with 250 or more employees had to publish certain information regarding the pay gap between male and female employees. For many firms, the reporting process has been challenging, and the results have sometimes been confusing (particularly given the occasional misunderstanding in the media of what the gender pay gap is actually measuring).

This breakfast is an opportunity to gain insight directly from Sam on what pay gap reporting means for the industry, how firms are learning from their data to drive progress, and what can be done better next time when it comes to communicating the gender pay gap.

You can read our summary of what gender pay gap reporting means and how firms can best address it from an event last year with Sam here
