That’s why we analyse and monitor our talent management data, including pay, by gender and take action.

    As a WGEA CEO Pay Equity Ambassador I have made and am passionate about the following “Pay Equity Pledge”: I recognise gender bias can creep into performance, talent development and pay decisions to create like for like gender pay gaps. That’s why we analyse and monitor our talent management data, including pay, by gender and take action. I also set the expectation among people managers that they address gender bias in their decision making. I do this because we know we can’t attract and retain the best people and improve workplace productivity if there’s any unfairness or perception of unfairness in our workplaces. I encourage all business leaders to take the first step. Equal pay is in your hands.
