1. Pay Equity: A Definition and a Challenge

Pay equity is the practice of ensuring that individuals are paid fairly for their work, regardless of their gender, race, or other protected characteristics. It is an essential element of fostering diversity and inclusion within an organization. Unfortunately, the gender pay gap, especially in leadership roles, is a stark reality for many companies.

According to recent data, women, on average, earn 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. This gap widens further in leadership positions, with women often earning significantly less than their male counterparts. This disparity is not only an issue of social justice but also a business concern, as it can lead to talent attrition and decreased employee morale.
