Introduction: In this episode, host Michelle Gyimah discusses common misconceptions about pay gaps and the metrics that organisations often chase without achieving real impact.

‌

Many organisations focus on metrics like the average pay gap without digging deeper into the underlying causes. Michelle emphasises that understanding the root causes—such as gender bias in promotions or unequal access to high-paying roles—is key to making real progress.

‌

Organisations should prioritise actionable steps, such as conducting regular salary audits, providing bias training for leadership, and setting measurable diversity and inclusion goals.

‌

Michelle stresses that leadership buy-in is essential for closing the pay gap. Training leaders to understand and act on pay gap issues is more effective than relying on surface-level metrics.

‌

Quote Highlight: "Chasing the wrong metrics will keep you in a loop; instead, focus on measurable actions that bring real change."

‌
