đź“Š HR Leads the Way: How Gender Pay Gap Reporting Is Driving Transparency & Equality in the Workplace | Consensus HR
đź“Š Did You Know?
“Since the UK introduced mandatory gender‑pay‑gap reporting in 2017, there’s been not only a gradual narrowing of the gap—but also a notable shift in who signs off on it. By 2024, HR professionals—mostly women—became the primary approvers of gender‑pay‑gap data. Companies where HR leads the reporting process tend to have smaller pay disparities.”
Matthew Chilcott, HR consultant at Consensus HR, comments:
“This shift underscores HR’s strategic importance—not just as data gatherers, but as drivers of corporate transparency and equity. When HR leads on pay reporting, it sends a clear signal: fostering fairness isn’t a box‑ticking exercise, it’s a core value.”
