Preparing for Pay Transparency – Gender Pay Gap Reporting
Q: If you were a HR director at a company that has done its basic reporting, what would you do to prepare for the transposition later this year?
It's essential to start collating data for job evaluations but not to finalize the evaluations until government guidance is published. Employers should also review their pay structures and practices to ensure compliance with new requirements.
Preparing for Pay Transparency – Gender Pay Gap Reporting
Q: Kara, can you give us an update on the key changes to gender pay gap reporting and the new portal that was launched?
Certainly. There have been significant changes, including the expansion of mandatory reporting to companies with 50 or more employees by 2025, and a reduction in the reporting window from six to five months.

Dr. Lawson advocates for treating EDI as a collective responsibility for all staff, emphasizing the benefits for everyone involved.
