As the UK government explores making ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting mandatory for large employers, now is the time for the tech sector to have a voice. Tech businesses are already familiar with gender pay gap reporting.

Since April 2018, all UK companies with 250 or more employees are required to publish their gender pay gap. A company’s gender pay gap report is more than the quantitative data. It is a statement of a company’s commitment to its workforce and diversity.

We want to hear from businesses on how ethnicity and disability pay reporting could work, without adding additional burdens on employers.

There will be a presentation on the consultation by a senior speaker from the government's Office for Equality and Opportunity.

This roundtable offers a critical opportunity to shape the future of fair and transparent pay practices across the industry.

Jobs and Skills

To make sure that the UK is a world-leading digital economy that works for everyone, it is crucial that people have the digital skills needed for life and work. Rapid digitalisation is creating surging demand for digital skills across the economy and the current domestic skills pipeline cannot keep up. Digitalisation is also leading to rapid changes in the labour market that means some traditional roles are being displaced. There is an urgent need to better match the demand and supply.
