Introduction: This week our host Michelle Gyimah explores what true success looks like when it comes to closing the pay gap.

‌

Success is not just about meeting legal requirements for reporting pay gaps. It's about creating a culture where equality is ingrained in every organisational process, from recruitment to promotion.

‌

Success in pay gap reduction should be measured by long-term impacts such as employee retention, satisfaction, and the growth of diverse talent in leadership roles.

‌

Organisations need to focus on more than just reducing the numbers; they should aim for comprehensive measures that include policy changes, fostering an inclusive culture, and continuous monitoring and improvement.

‌

Quote Highlight: "Success in pay gap reduction isn’t just about the numbers; it's about the retention and satisfaction of diverse talent."

‌

Tune in next week for a special case study episode where our host Michelle Gyimah shares how one organisation successfully reduced its pay gap by nearly 15% over three years.

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."

Susan discusses the challenges women face in the workplace due to menopause and shares insights into how organisations can become more inclusive.

Susan discusses how menopause is often overlooked as a factor affecting women’s career progression. Women experiencing severe symptoms may struggle with attendance, performance, and confidence, leading to potential career setbacks. Addressing these issues through supportive policies is crucial for retaining talented women.

By addressing issues related to menopause, companies can retain experienced professionals and reduce turnover, especially in male-dominated sectors.
