The Programme
9,000 businesses with over 250 employees, plus public bodies, are now on a steep learning curve to report their gender pay gap by April 2018 and shape their response and reaction accordingly.
The 2nd Annual Gender Pay Gap programme and online broadcast for businesses and large public organisations will take place on Thursday 12th October 2017 – half way through this critical year – giving participants adequate time to measure your organisation’s preparations against best practice and ensure you are ready to report on time.
Use this 12 hours of programme sessions and podcast to benchmark your work against the best in the UK; see how other companies are approaching the challenge; and learn the most up –to-date solutions to meet the timetable and the law for publication.
This gathering of experts is filmed and edited into corporate briefing packages that delegates can use within their own organisations to move the work forward, train and inform colleagues.
This year’s programme will address:
- Risk and reputation in presenting your results
- Accountability and transparency
- Role of professions and trade associations
- Female dominated workforces
- Choices on publishing time
- Focus on construction and engineering
- Focus on financial services
- Focus on technology
- Case studies
- Fathers and returning women workers
- Implications for tenders and supply chains
- Preparing your change agenda
- How GPGR will impact the competition for talent
