While the prospect of more women on British boards championing the equal pay cause is a brilliant development, every organisation has the potential to change the status quo, according to Lisa Forrester, director of GCS Recruitment.
The government has recently launched a consultation on forcing large companies to reveal the difference between the average pay of male and female staff and has also announced that a target of getting women occupying at least a quarter of boardroom seats at the UK’s biggest firms has been met.
Prime minister David Cameron said: “This will primarily help women, who tend to be in lower paid jobs. It will help close the gender pay gap, but we need to go further.”
With this in mind, Lisa Forrester revealed that there were several ways employers could back an equitable system and be recognised for their forward-thinking attitude.
To find out what three methods Forrester is convinced will inspire other firms to follow suit in terms of an equal pay gap revolution, read the full article on Real Business.
