In March 2026, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency published a report about gender pay, which provides benchmarks for employer gender pay gaps and identifies three key areas where employers can accelerate their progress.
Relevant employers are required to comply with statutory minimum standards in relation to gender equality indicators and must select three equality targets from the list and achieve (or at least improve) on the targets. These employers must choose and declare their targets between 1 April and 31 May 2026.
