4 Steps Corporations Can Take to Rally Behind Equal Pay

The gender pay gap is nothing new. The first National Equal Pay Day occurred 23 years ago. April 2nd, National Equal Pay Day, symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year.

Here are our 4 ways companies can work to close the gender pay gap:

Develop a diversity recruitment plan with metrics

Accountability increases the likelihood of meeting diversity goals and shows that the company is serious about diversifying its staff and equal treatment. Companies can also ask for anonymous applications to diminish the chance of hiring biases and eliminate biases from job descriptions by removing excessive and often-unfamiliar corporate jargon.

Take a hard look at how much you pay each employee

Rebuild the promotional ladder

Spotlight women and minorities in mentorship programs and training

Equal pay for women is only a matter of time, but until then, National Equal Pay Day will continue to highlight the wage gap that exists and call attention to our shortfalls to close it. Companies that are proactive about closing this gap today are thinking ahead about the long-term future of our workforce and their success.
