GPG Reporting Countdown Series – Communication Is Key

Over the course of December, as part of our GPG Reporting Countdown Series, we have been sharing our experience and insight into managing the trickier issues of running the numbers (see Crunching the numbers!), presenting the data and drafting the accompanying statement (see Mind the gap!). This last instalment addresses the key questions arising in respect of how best to communicate the Gender Pay Gap ("GPG") data to internal stakeholders.

Should We Present and Explain Our Figures to Our Employees First?

Although not legally required, it is certainly a good idea for employers to present their GPG data and roadmap to their employees prior to publishing their reports on their websites. We are seeing the majority of clients and companies taking this approach, whether by way of an internal town-hall style meeting or a company-wide email.
