Are women in your business falling into a gender pay gap? Apparently it was Equal Pay Day on Saturday – see the news: http://bit.ly/2PmDEvh – and the Fawcett Society and Warwick Business School have been flagging up the fact that little progress seems to be being made in ensuring women get paid the same as men for doing the same work. Dare I say it, but in print there has been, for many years, something of a divide between what have been perceived as men’s jobs and women’s. Sadly, to some extent, that divide still exists, so how do you determine fair pay across the workforce?
