Pay Gap Data #7 – Where can I find gender pay gap data for 2023?
This post was updated on 2nd October 2024 with the latest data for the 2023 snapshot date. I will continue to update each quarter with data from late reporters.
The government requires 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.

Stats Training Materials – Pay Gap Analytics
The 5 steps to close a pay gap are –
- Define what success looks like i.e. where you want to be in the future.
- Measure where you are today.
- Analyse your data to understand why you are where you are today & what the key drivers are of your gaps
- Identify & implement actions that will move you from today to where you want to be.
- Continuously monitor key drivers to ensure you are on the right track
All steps require the use of statistical thinking and statistical methods. Of course, other skills and processes are also needed but they cannot succeed on their own without the help of statistics
