Workshop: practical guide to pay equity

Did you know employees are more likely to stay in a job where they are treated equally and fairly?

Many employers do not realise they have a gender pay gap and others, despite their best efforts, know they have a gap but have limited resources and knowledge to investigate and address the issues. At WGEA we are often asked 'where do I start with pay equity?' 'how do I know if there is a gender pay gap?' and 'what action can I take if I find a gap?'  

In May we are holding two workshops in Sydney and two workshops in Melbourne to assist organisations in managing and improving the equal remuneration for women and men in the workplace - relevant to gender equality indicator 3 under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 .  The workshops will cover:

• introduction to pay equity
• how to conduct a payroll analysis 
• interpreting the results of a payroll analysis 
• building a pay equity strategy and action plan
