🚨 Equal Pay Day: A Stark Reminder 🚨 Earlier this week marked Equal Pay Day—the day when women in the UK, on average, effectively start working for free for the rest of the year compared to their male counterparts. Falling on November 20th this year, it’s a stark reminder of how much work still needs to be done to close the gender pay gap. While we’ve seen progress, systemic inequalities persist. Women remain underrepresented in leadership, paid less for equivalent work, and face barriers that hold back their careers and financial independence. What are you seeing in your organization? Are there measures in place to address these disparities? Are pay structures transparent and fair? We all have a part to play: 💼 Advocate for pay equity and review policies. 📣 Amplify women’s voices and contributions. 🌟 Mentor and support the next generation of leaders. The gender pay gap isn’t just a statistic—it’s a reflection of where change is still desperately needed. Let’s continue the conversation and commit to action. What’s working (or not working) where you are? #EqualPayDay #GenderPayGap #DiversityAndInclusion #WomeninBusiness https://dy.si/HXGmzS2

Today is Equal Pay Day! Equal Pay Day marks the current state of the gender pay gap for women. This day highlights the injustice of gender wage gaps by showing how far into the year women have to work on average to earn what men made last year. Below is a breakdown provided by AAUW of how much women working full time, year round are paid on the dollar compared to men: Asian-American women - 89-99 cents White women - 74-80 cents Black women - 66-69 cents Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women - 60-66 cents Latina women - 52-57 cents At HACE, we are working towards closing the pay gap for women by creating programs like Mujeres de HACE, a program geared to empower high-potential Latina professionals to succeed professionally and thrive personally while providing insight, access, and professional development..

Today, I wear RED to support National Equal Pay Day. Let's raise awareness about the ongoing gender pay gap. Did you know that women in all industries are paid less than a man with the same qualifications and skillset? Shocking, right? And the pay gap varies significantly among different communities, particularly for women of color. According to the most recent data from the US Census Bureau, for every $1 a man makes, white women make 82 cents, Black women make 63 cents, and Latina women make just 55 cents. We all want the same things in our workplaces; to be valued, recognized, treated fairly, respected, and to feel a sense of belonging. But when a gender pay gap exists, none of these things can be true. It's time to start the difficult discussions to review your compensation practices and any potential pay gaps. Let's commit to getting it right, even if it takes time to correct. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. #EqualPayDay #PayEquity #GenderPayGap #women #alliesforequity

Today is Equal Pay Day, according to the National Committee on Pay Equity, March 12th, 2024, is the date that symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. How crazy is that? My first thought is how can I help? What actions can I take or encourage others to take to make things better and close the gender pay gap? On All Women's Equal Pay Day, here are Three Actions for Advocating for Equal Pay in the Workplace. 1️⃣ Audit and Adjust Pay Practices, implement regular pay audits to identify and correct disparities. Transparently adjust wages to ensure equal pay for equal work. 2️⃣ Promote Leadership Diversity, actively support women's advancement into leadership roles. Diversity in decision-making positions fosters a culture of equality and inclusion. 3️⃣ Educate and Empower, raise awareness about pay inequality and empower individuals to advocate for their worth. Knowledge is power in the fight for equality. #EqualPayDay #AdvocateForEquality #ChangeStartsNow #WomenEmpowerment #LittleStepsBigChange

March 12th is Equal Pay Day – a day meant to raise awareness about the wage gap that exists between men and women. Since its origination in 1996, the date has fallen on a Tuesday to represent how far into the next work week it takes women to earn what men earned the previous week. According to the most recent US Census, the median income for women was 21% less than for men in 2022. While women have made strides, progress towards equal pay is still slow, with the World Economic Forum predicting global gender equal pay not occurring for another 257 years. Closing the wage gap is not just good for society but also for the economy. PWC’s 2023 “Women in Work Index” estimates closing the pay gap across OECD countries could boost the economy by $5.8 trillion annually. In recent years, corporate America has started to pay more attention to the wage gap as pressure has grown from stakeholders – and as is always the case, some companies are doing it better than others. Arjun Capital (along with Proxy Impact and DiversIQ) have put together a scorecard grading corporate America on pay Equity. Among the top five with a grade of "A" was Target, Starbucks, Mastercard, Microsoft and Pfizer.  We talked to Natasha Lamb of Arjuna Capital on Money Movers today to get a breakdown of the corporate results.

Today marks a crucial moment in our pursuit of workplace equality: Equal Pay Day - It’s a stark reminder of the persistent gender pay gap that continues to affect women across all industries & backgrounds. “The gender pay gap is typically referred to in monetary terms, measuring how much women earn for every dollar a man earns. But that gap is also indirectly a marker of time, since women on average earn less and therefore have to work longer just to break even with men. How much longer? Enter Equal Pay Day — an approximate measure of just how many months into the new year a woman has to work for her earnings to catch up with what a man made in the prior year. This year, Equal Pay Day falls on [March 12]. That means the average full-time working woman has to work about two and a half months more than the average man just to bring in what he earned last year.” (To read the full article, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gG8u6-Uw ) As we recognize this day, let’s ask ourselves: How can we collectively work towards closing this gap and ensuring fair compensation for all? Join the conversation and learn more about the significance of Equal Pay Day. #ttccommunity #ThelaThatchConsulting #EqualPayDay #GenderEquality #WorkplaceEquality #closingthegap#t

👛 Today it is Equal Pay Day! This morning, while reading the newspaper (Financieel Dagblad), I came across a striking article: from today until the end of the year, women in the Netherlands are symbolically working "for free." The gender pay gap of 12% per hour worked is a persistent reminder of the inequality that still exists. One story particularly stood out - a young woman who discovered her male colleague, with the same role and experience, earned significantly more. When she raised the issue, she was met with excuses ranging from "he negotiated better" to comments about her appearance. Stories like this highlight why Equal Pay Day remains so important. Together, we can create more awareness and build a more inclusive and fair future. At Qdrop - Impact Analytics, we know that change starts with transparency.
