What are employers required to submit?

Any employer with 250 or more employees on their ‘snapshot date’ at the end of the financial year must submit both:

• a gender pay gap report showing their breakdown of pay and bonuses by gender
• an action plan outlining how they intend to address the gender pay gap and support employees experiencing menopause – these are voluntary for the 2026 to 2027 reporting year

For more detail, see the gender pay gap and action plan guidance for employers (opens in a new window).

Embark Multi Academy Trust submitted the following supporting narrative with their action plan:

The plan focuses on embedding equality, inclusion and evidence-informed decision making to reduce the gender pay gap over time. It prioritises delivery of the Strategy, ensuring gender equality is considered in workforce planning and organisational decisions. A stronger data-led approach will use gender pay gap dashboards to monitor trends, identify areas for improvement and inform targeted action. Recruitment and selection processes will continue to embed inclusive principles, providing fair, transparent access to opportunities while monitoring diversity across all levels of the Trust. Leadership development will intentionally promote equality and support progression into senior roles. The Trust will strengthen staff engagement by listening to colleagues, responding to feedback and providing appropriate development opportunities. Support policies, including flexible working, menopause, parental leave and return-to-work arrangements, will be made more visible, accessible and consistently applied. Trust-wide induction and onboarding will also be strengthened to support long-term career development. Progress will be subject to regular reporting, review and scrutiny through in-year monitoring, ensuring actions remain focused on the areas of greatest impact. Collectively, these actions aim to address the structural causes of the gender pay gap, improve representation across higher-paid roles and create a culture where opportunity, progression and reward are accessible too everyone.

Action plan

What is an action plan?

Employers with 250 or more employees can produce and publish a voluntary action plan alongside their gender pay gap data. Their plan shows the steps they are taking to address their gender pay gap and support employees experiencing menopause.

This will be mandatory from spring 2027, subject to legislation.

To create an action plan, employers review a list of evidence-informed actions recommended by the government. They can identify any that are already an established part of their working practice (‘embedded actions’), and choose at least 2 new actions to focus on (‘planned actions’).

You can see the full list of actions (opens in a new window) and guidance for employers on creating an action plan (opens in a new window).

Embark Multi Academy Trust added the following ‘planned’ actions to their action plan for 2026 to 2027:

• Offer mentoring, sponsorship and other development programmes
• Enhance and promote flexible working and leave policies
• Review policies and procedures to meet the needs of employees experiencing menopause

They indicated that the following ‘embedded’ actions are already an established part of their working practice:

• Advertise leave policies in job adverts
• Reduce unconscious bias in CV screening
• Increase transparency for pay, promotion and rewards
• Offer workplace adjustments to employees experiencing menopause
• Offer occupational health advice to employees experiencing menopause
