Voluntary gender equality reporting

The government has been working with a range of partners to develop a new voluntary framework for gender equality reporting, called Think, Act, Report.

Think, Act, Report

The new framework aims to encourage and support organisations to take a simple step-by-step journey to improve gender equality in their organisations.

We want 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.

See the Think, Act, Report framework report.

What do I report on?

You can choose to report on the measures that you consider the most relevant. The Think, Act, Report framework provides a list of suggested measures to choose from, including:

  • Narrative measures - a description of the organisation’s approach and actions, to provide context for any figures that are reported. This could also include results from staff surveys.
  • Workforce measures - for example, the gender composition of the workforce as a whole, or representation at different levels.
  • Pay measures - for example, the overall gender pay gap, full-time gender pay gap or men and women’s starting salaries.

See all the measures in the Think, Act, Report framework.

A flexible approach

Above all the Think, Act, Report framework is flexible, and takes into account that every organisation is different. Employers can choose to report on the range of workforce or pay measures which make the most sense for their business.

The framework is open to all private and voluntary sector organisations, particularly those with 150 or more employees.
