In today's episode, we're discussing the crucial questions you should ask when hiring a pay gaps consultancy.
Many hesitate to seek expert help due to fear of the unknown and investment concerns. I wanted to help you tackle these issues and discuss them together here on the podcast.
In this episode we’ll go through each of the 5 questions and how you can get the best answers from a consultancy, to ensure you have all the right tools to address your pay gap figure.
Here are some of the questions we’ll be covering:
Question 1: Experience and Track Record
- It's essential to gauge a consultancy's experience in addressing pay gaps. Beware of mere online claims; seek tangible proof of competence.
- Case studies and client examples provide valuable insights into a consultancy's capabilities. Understand their past successes to assess their fit for your needs.
Question 2: Insurance and Compliance.
- Ensure the consultancy holds relevant insurance, vital for providing sound advice and protection for both parties.
- Compliance with industry regulations and codes of practice is non-negotiable. Professional indemnity insurance is a must-have for peace of mind.
Listen to the episode to find out the rest of the questions and how you can address them. Any consultancy with experience and a good track record should be able to answer your questions, provide examples, and demonstrate their expertise.
These five questions I share with you today can then serve as a blueprint for you when you are assessing potential pay gaps consultancies for your organisation.
It’s important to seek this reassurance, transparency, and alignment with your company goals.
Best podcast quote: “Essentially you're doing this because you need reassurance that they know exactly what they're doing. Looking at someone's website and looking at social media on its own is not going to be enough because it is so easy today to put something on the internet and to claim that you are an expert, or really knowledgeable in a particular space.”
