On 2 August 2018, the House of Commons Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) committee published a report on gender pay gap reporting, this is the first report into an inquiry launched back in March 2018.
The report shows that while gender pay gap average is at 18% nationally, in some organisations it is as high as 40%. Several recommendations were made to reduce the gap such as reporting to include a narrative explanation for pay disparity.
Whether these recommendations are in fact implemented by the government is one thing, but, there is no denying, the calls are growing rapidly for the gap to close.
