FTSE 100 CEO pay packages 25 August 2017
A report from the CIPD and the High Pay Centre examines FTSE 100 CEO pay packages, which show that rewards at the top have dropped by almost a fifth, but still remain extraordinarily high.
The report looks at how CEO pay in the UK’s largest firms has changed between the financial year to 2015 and the financial year to 2016. It finds that over this period, FTSE 100 CEO remuneration has fallen by 17%, from £5.4 million in 2015 to £4.5 million in 2016. However, while there has been a significant drop in CEO pay, it would still take the average UK full-time worker on a salary of £28,000 (median full-time earnings) 160 years to earn what an average FTSE 100 CEO is paid in just one year. Although the average pay packages of the 25 highest paid CEOs have dropped by 24% to £9.4m in 2016, rewards for the 32 lowest paid chief executives in the FTSE 100 have increased as firms ‘chase the median’.

Supporting trans employees in the workplace 30 August 2017
Acas has published a research paper on supporting trans and intersex employees in the workplace. It provides approaches of ‘good practice’ employers and looks at the barriers, challenges and suggestions for change.
The research paper ‘ Supporting trans employees in the workplace ’ includes the legal responsibilities within the Equality Act 2010 and the Gender Recognition Act 2004, which employers need to be aware of.
Along with information on policies and practices, attitudes, awareness and behaviours, there are three useful case studies from King Henry VIII School, Asda and Barclays which include ‘lessons learned’.

Do you work in Education in England? 24 August 2017
From today, GCSE results in England will start to look a little different as for the first time this summer English and maths will be graded 9 to 1 rather than A* to G, with 9 the highest grade.
From 24 August 2017, GCSE results in England will start to look a little different. For the first time this summer English and maths will be graded 9 to 1 rather than A* to G, with 9 the highest grade, so students who have sat exams this summer will have a mixture of numbers and letters on their certificates and CVs. The new GCSEs have been introduced to ensure that students leave school better prepared for work or further study. They cover more challenging content and are designed to match standards in the strongest performing education systems elsewhere in the world. Changing from letters to numbers means that employers can see easily whether an applicant has taken an old (unreformed) or a new (reformed) GCSE.
