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).

2. Latest action plan (2026 to 2027)

Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust submitted the following supporting narrative with their action plan:

Our pay gap analysis shows that the gender pay gap at MKUH is largely driven by differences in progression, access to senior roles, and the distribution of reward. Addressing these disparities requires targeted, measurable action focused on improving representation at leadership levels, creating inclusive and accessible career pathways, and ensuring equitable access to development, recognition, and progression opportunities. The Gender Pay Gap Action Plan will be embedded within the Trust’s wider Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, aligning with ongoing work to create a fair and inclusive workplace. This includes working in partnership with our Women’s Staff Network to amplify staff voice, identify barriers, and co-develop solutions that support the recruitment, progression and retention of women across the organisation.

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).

Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust added the following ‘planned’ actions to their action plan for 2026 to 2027:

• Offer mentoring, sponsorship and other development programmes
• Train managers to support employees experiencing menopause

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

• Make job descriptions inclusive
• Encourage applications from a range of candidates
• Reduce unconscious bias in CV screening
• Use fair and structured interview techniques
• Advertise leave policies in job adverts
• Advertise flexible working arrangements in job adverts
• Increase transparency for pay, promotion and rewards
• Enhance and promote flexible working and leave policies
• Offer occupational health advice to employees experiencing menopause
• Set up menopause support groups and networks
• Offer workplace adjustments to employees experiencing menopause
• Review policies and procedures to meet the needs of employees experiencing menopause
