In 2024 this advanced to employers with more than 150 employees, and in 2025 this will apply to employers with more than 50 employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reporting goes beyond compliance; it\u2019s an opportunity to demonstrate commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). <a href=\"https:\/\/backtoworkconnect.ie\/\">Back To Work Connect<\/a>, a career hub focused on midlife workers, Returners, and career changers, along with its Returner Friendly badge, offers significant value to organisations addressing the gender pay gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-gender-pay-gap-challenge\">The Gender Pay Gap Challenge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The gender pay gap highlights systemic inequalities in pay between men and women, often caused by occupational segregation, disparities in seniority levels, and unequal access to opportunities. A key issue contributing to the gap is the underrepresentation of women in higher-paying roles and industries\u2014particularly women returning to work after a career break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-back-to-work-connect-can-help\">How Back To Work Connect Can Help?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Back To Work Connect is designed to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity, especially for midlife workers and Returners.
