Theresa May, the Home Secretary, has launched an initiative to address workplace inequality between men and women through a voluntary reporting scheme called Think, Act, Report.
The Government wants employers to commit to voluntary reporting on areas such as the number of female board members they have and progress on equalising the gender pay gap. The new framework aims to encourage and support organisations to take a simple step-by-step journey to improve gender equality in their organisations. The Government wants organisations to start by undertaking their own analysis of these issues, where necessary to take action to address them, and in time report on gender equality in their organisation.
This provides summary information and comment on the subject areas covered. Where employment tribunal and appellate court cases are reported, the information does not set out all of the facts, the legal arguments presented and the judgments made in every aspect of the case. Employment law is subject to constant change either by statute or by interpretation by the courts. While every care has been taken in compiling this information, we cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. Specialist legal advice must be taken on any legal issues that may arise before embarking upon any formal course of action.
