How to prepare a gender equality action plan
While gender pay gap reporting has increased transparency across Great Britain, significant disparities in pay and progression remain. The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces a mandatory requirement for qualifying employers to publish evidence-informed action plans that tackle these root causes. This guide provides a strategic framework to help you reduce pay gaps and implement meaningful support for employees experiencing the menopause.
Moving beyond transparency to practical action
Many organisations have moved beyond compliance to addressing the structural barriers that impact long-term talent retention. By implementing evidence-informed strategies, you can mitigate the risk of losing high-performing staff during critical life stages, such as the menopause, which directly impacts attendance, performance, and pay progression.
Follow our step-by-step guide to explore how to:
- Navigate the legal framework
- Build a data-backed foundation for your action plan
- Select the government-recommended actions
- Embed the action plan into everyday working practices
- Track the progress and manage interim reviews
