Pay gap reporting is more than a legal obligation—it’s a critical step towards fostering an equitable, inclusive workplace. At Inclusive Employers, we offer comprehensive consultancy and training services to ensure you are fully equipped to meet your pay gap reporting requirements and take meaningful action.
The importance of closing the gap
If you have pay gaps in your organisation, you may be vulnerable to legal and reputational damage. Pay gaps can also cause low morale, division, and long-term negative effects for individuals. Employees who experience a pay gap earn less over their lifetime leaving them more vulnerable to poverty, with lower pensions for retirement. Everyone benefits when you close the pay gaps in your organisation.
Women earn 16% less than men on average, rising to 18.4% for entry-level positions.
At the current rate of change, the pay gap between men and women will not close until 2051.
According to the latest stats, the median pay for disabled employees with autism was 33.5% less than for non-disabled employees.
The disability pay gap in the UK is 13.8% according to the latest ONS figures.
Among UK-born workers, black employees had the biggest pay gap, earning 5.6% less than white employees.
Non-UK-born black employees registered the highest pay gap in 2022, earning 12% less than UK-born white workers.

Gathering identity data
Start with the foundation: accurate, comprehensive data collection. We support you in gathering voluntary employee data to ensure that your pay gap reporting includes all relevant protected characteristics. This crucial first step helps provide a clear, actionable picture of your workforce and pay gaps.
Reporting essentials
Our training programme equips your HR team with the knowledge and skills to understand, analyse, and address pay disparities. You’ll learn how to calculate and interpret gender, ethnicity, and disability pay gaps, with the insights needed to make informed decisions and take impactful action.
Action plans
With our consultancy service, we guide you through the entire reporting process. We’ll help you not only calculate your pay gaps but also develop a tailored action plan that addresses the root causes and creates lasting change. We ensure your action plan is specific, measurable, and time-limited, aligning with your broader diversity and inclusion goals.
Gender pay gap
Our expert consultancy helps you navigate the legal requirements for gender pay gap reporting, from data collection to crafting a meaningful narrative. We’ll work with you to explore the data, identify areas for improvement, and develop strategies that close the gender pay gap within your organisation.
Ethnicity pay gap
Ethnicity pay gap reporting is still voluntary, but it’s an important step in promoting racial equality in the workplace. We offer tailored consultancy to help you gather, analyse, and report on ethnicity pay data. Our support includes actionable insights and strategies for addressing disparities, fostering a fairer, more inclusive workplace.
Disability pay gap
While disability pay gap reporting is not yet mandatory, it’s essential for creating an inclusive workplace. Our consultancy helps you identify and address disparities between disabled and non-disabled employees. We’ll support you in gathering the data, analysing trends, and developing a comprehensive action plan to close the disability pay gap.
