we discuss the most common mistakes organisations make with their pay gap plans and why they think these plans are not working. I will guide you through these common pitfalls and present a framework that I use with my clients to overcome these challenges effectively.
Key Discussion Points:
Despite their efforts, many organisations find that their actions are not yielding the desired changes, especially when the focus is solely on reducing the pay gap figure. One major reason for this is that the pay gap figure is volatile, influenced by factors both within and beyond an organisation’s control, such as company culture, redundancies, mergers, and personal decisions of employees. This volatility means that focusing solely on the pay gap figure is unhelpful and can be detrimental.
Moving away from strict targets allows for more meaningful work that impacts the organisation positively.
The second common mistake is the lack of good insights. Organisations often focus on the wrong data. It's crucial to understand why the pay gap exists in the first place, requiring deeper, intersectional analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data.
