The UK government will soon mandate that large employers report the proportion of disabled employees in their workforces. This reflects wider global regulatory trends and increasing voluntary reporting initiatives.
At present, disability pay gap reporting is voluntary in the UK, primarily targeting employers with 250 or more employees (although any company can adopt the framework). However, awareness and uptake have been limited, with only 21% of employers familiar with it. This has led the government to consider mandatory disability reporting.
Key challenges include encouraging employees to disclose disabilities and ensuring that the data collected is meaningful and comparable. We can support you to work through these challenges and adopt disability pay gap reporting in advance of it becoming mandatory.
