One in three organisations that have gone through the process of writing gender pay gap reports are also looking to confront pay imbalances, a survey has found.
The poll found that 32% of companies were "considering" action to address their gender pay issues, 28% were undertaking no action while 40% remained unsure of next steps.
Undertaken by ICSA: The Governance Institute, and recruitment specialist The Core Partnership, the survey also found that a little more than four out of five companies, 86%, were on course to meet the gender pay gap reporting deadline of 4 April. Around one in ten, 12%, said they were not ready for the deadline
