Mind the pay gap: designing a diverse workforce

Gender pay disparity is a universal issue that has grown in prominence, but incomplete data and patchy reporting leaves organizations in the dark about its impact. Unless you have a clear view of the conditions giving rise to a gender pay gap in your organization, you won’t be in a position to do anything about it.

Reporting on gender pay gap is now a legal requirement for many organizations but they struggle to produce accurate information in a timely way. In the UK, more than 30% of all submissions in 2019 contained errors. This was largely down to a staggering 50% of companies using manual processes involving spreadsheets.

In this ebook, we show you:

• how to uncover the causes of a gender pay gap in your organization. We use an example that illustrates how a detailed understanding can lead to actions that create lasting change    
• three things you could be doing now to improve the reliability of your gender pay gap reporting
