Do you know that … 20% of women are still being paid less than men?
Throughout the world, women’s average monthly pay is around 20% less than men. As yet, no country has achieved gender parity.
There are many arguments for why companies should invest in advancing equal pay for work of equal value.
Closing the gender pay gap makes business sense and benefit both workers and employers, becouse valuing workers helps attract and retain talent, and increases performance and productivity. It also contribute to increased growth and sustainability of enterprises. But, more importantly, it is simply a matter of fairness.
