Pay Gap Data #9 – Where can I find gender pay gap data for 2025?

By

This post was updated on 9th  January 2026.  The next update is planned for February 2026.

The government requires nearly all employers with a headcount of 250 or more on their snapshot date to submit gender pay gap data.  All data is available to the public and can be found on the government’s gender pay gap website.  I have downloaded this data and created a spreadsheet to present the data in a more user-friendly and visual format.

UK Weather Tracker #104 – September 2025

Stats Training Materials – Pay Gap Analytics

By

*** Updated with links B16 and P9, P10 and P11 for 3 presentations I have given recently on gender & ethnicity pay gap reporting.  I have also added new sections I & J**

The 5 steps to closing a pay and/or representation gap are –

  1. Define what success looks like i.e. where you want to be in the future
  2. Measure where you are today
  3. Analyse your data to understand why you are where you are today & what the key drivers are of your gaps
  4. Implement actions which move you from where you are today to put you on the path to where you want to be in the future
  5. Control the key drivers to ensure you are on the right track

All steps require the use of statistical thinking and statistical methods.  Other skills and processes are also needed but they cannot succeed on their own without the help of statistical thinking.

UK Weather Trends #37 – Summer 2025

By

The 2025 meteorological summer in the UK was the warmest on record.  This came less from heatwaves setting new temperate peaks and more from steady warmth throughout June, July & August.  Overall it was sunnier and drier than usual in the UK but not to any significant degree.  As a result, whilst the 1st principal component confirms the summer can be regarded as a “good summer”, it was a long way from being an exceptional summer like 1976 & 1995.

UK Weather Tracker #103 – August 2025

By

It was the 8th warmest August on record in the UK.  When combined with the 5th warmest July and the 2nd warmest June, the result was the warmest summer on record.  Otherwise, the weather on average in the UK continues to be unremarkable in terms of rainfall and sunshine but that disguises some significant regional variations.
