Gender Pay Gap Pre-Action Plan Checklist 

Workplace gender pay gaps are unfortunately common, but that doesn’t mean candidates are willing to settle. 55% of respondents to our annual survey of women and marginalized groups said they would still apply to an employer with a poor pay gap, if the company could prove its commitment to closing it

An effective action plan is a powerful way to prove such commitment but requires a clear understanding of what’s causing your company’s gender pay gap. Our pre-action plan checklist will help you gain just that, with 26 key questions and expert guidance for identifying even the most hidden causes.
