Mandatory Disability and Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting

This is an online event.

Audience

This event is open to Inclusion and Wellbeing advisory and members of Business in the Community (BITC). It has been designed for anyone interested in promoting fair pay practices, including Diversity and inclusion practitioners/managers and Heads of, and HR/People/Talent management practitioners/managers and Heads of.

Background

UK companies with 250 plus employees will have to report ethnicity and disability pay gaps under Labour plans laid out in the King’s Speech in July 2024.

In 2023 BITC surveyed over 200 employers and found that 67% of employers were monitoring data on pay and ethnicity, yet only 44% published this data. Despite the challenges in gathering this data, employers have shown that it is possible to collect and report on pay gap data, and BITC has significant evidence of businesses highlighting the effectiveness of ethnicity pay gap reporting. Data is power and without it, the best workplace decisions cannot be made.
