Gender Pay Gap: 5 things you need to know

This week the government will impose new legislation forcing companies with 250+employees to publish information showing the gap between their male and female employees.

I was asked by the PRCA to contribute a blog on the new legislation and, given that it is a thorny and misunderstood issue, I thought it best to address the fundamentals first.

In the blog I answer the following questions:

• What is the gender pay gap?
• What causes it?
• What is the new regulation?
• What does the PR industry think about it?
• How can I get involved (even if my company doesn’t meet the 250 employee threshold?)

This final piece points you to seven practical tips and suggestions offered up by the PRCA to help you to reduce your own gender pay gap, even if you aren’t legally obliged to.

What are your thoughts on the gender pay gap? How are you embracing it as a business? I’m interested in hearing your thoughts.
