Join us on this episode where we tackle the complex challenge of closing pay gaps. Listen in as Michelle, presents a fresh perspective, urging organisations to look beyond just the numbers. We share insights into the pitfalls of a singular focus on pay gap statistics, from creating false impressions of progress to inadvertently cultivating 'pay gap fatigue.'
We'll discuss how external perceptions can sometimes outweigh real internal change and the dangers of treating pay gap figures as the sole measure of success.
In this conversation, we also explore actionable strategies for addressing the gender pay gap within unique company cultures. Discover the importance of understanding your pay gap data and implementing tailored actions that resonate with company values, such as equalising parental leave and equitable career progression.
We'll guide you through owning your pay gap narrative, preparing you to communicate your efforts effectively, and manage any potential criticism. So tune in for a nuanced take on creating meaningful change in pay gaps, and learn why the numbers are just the beginning of the story.
