The Disability Pay Gap

In this episode of Getting Our Reward Heads Together, we’re exploring one of the least talked about inequalities in the workplace: the Disability Pay Gap.

 

Reward Heads CEO Victoria Milford is joined by Katy Downes, Director at Proelio HR Ltd, to unpack why the disability pay gap remains largely hidden — and what organisations can do to address it before mandatory reporting becomes a reality.

 

They discuss:

• Why disability pay gaps exist, and why they’re often misunderstood
• The critical role of trust, disclosure, and psychological safety
• How “reasonable adjustments data” can reveal inequity that disability declarations miss
• The importance of inclusive pay governance and manager capability
• What organisations should be doing now to prepare for new legislation

This 20-minute episode offers practical insights into building fairer, more transparent and more inclusive Reward systems.
