Since it's International Women's Day I had an opportunity to reflect on this wonderful event conceived by my awesome colleague Alexandra Baskerville and executed brilliantly by her and the Kearney team. It was an impactful day and very well received by all. And whilst we're on the topic of equity and brilliant leaders there are a few River colleagues I'd like to shout out and appreciate today Alexandra Baskerville Caitlin McCreight Carolina Rossin Darcy Wilson-Burgess Sophie Dunn Irina Damian ACCA thank you all for doing what you do. #riverpartnership;#equity

The gender pay gap has been a persistent issue despite equal pay legislation being in place for over 50 years. To combat this, pay transparency has become an increasingly important part of HR legislation, with new laws being introduced in many jurisdictions during 2022. This trend is expected to continue into 2024 and beyond. Currently, several countries such as Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Iceland, Lithuania, the UK and the US have already implemented pay transparency legislation or policies. Other governments, including the European Union (EU), are in the process of enacting similar measures. A recent research report by Staffing Industry Analysts has identified nine different legislative measures related to pay transparency, including access to pay information, requiring employers to disclose individual pay information to employees, advertising salary information in job postings, prohibiting employers from requesting salary history, creating an independent body to provide equal pay certification, obliging enterprises to publish gender and pay information, regular audits on gender and pay, undertaking pay assessments and promoting equal pay discussions during collective bargaining. As such, pay transparency is becoming an increasingly important issue for recruiters to pay attention to in order to comply with legislation and promote gender-neutral pay. More recently, comment in the FT points out that the narrowing of the gender pay gap has not come about by raising women’s pay, but by curbing that of men. "Transparency seems to have a 'back stiffening' effect, handing employers power to push back in negotiations.” Either way, this is not something that seems to be as easily resolved in the short term as people expected. #paytransparency #genderpaygap
