A Jersey report found that the gender pay gap for 2023 was 14.7%, a large disparity compared to the UK's 7.7%. But what happened next has been nothing short of magical... ✨ A group was formed to discuss the pathway to change. Through shared learning, confidential support and a collective desire to see a better future the group grew and grew. Now, with positive examples of businesses taking the lead in this area, free advice of how to tackle the issue and innovative technology to support the journey - change seems imminent. So we at Orchard play our role as communicators to give weight to this topic and to wholeheartedly show our support. Thank you to everyone who took part in making this video and to Slingshot Films for partnering with us on its production.
