Government launches pay transparency pilot to break down barriers for women

Today the Government will announce a new transparency pilot to tackle barriers to employment for women – levelling up employment opportunities for women across the country.  

The UK can only grasp its full potential by championing its brightest and best, and ensuring everyone, regardless of their background or sex, has the opportunity to succeed.

That is why the Government are introducing a new transparency pilot to support women into employment, which will ensure that employers list salary ranges on job adverts and do not require applicants to disclose their salary histories.

These measures will put women on a firm footing when negotiating pay, closing salary gaps, tackling pay inequality, and supporting women into well-paid work.

As the local MP, ensuring that we have more good jobs in Norwich is one of my priorities. To find out what I am doing to ensure this, please visit: https://www.chloesmith.org.uk/myplan/jobs
