📊 At Prosperity 24/7, women are earning more than men - and they're not shy about sharing how. The Jersey-based digital transformation firm has released its first gender pay gap report, revealing a median +8.3% pay gap in favour of women and setting a new standard for transparency in the Channel Islands tech scene. 💬 “Attracting female talent to the industry is a challenge,” says Marisa Hamon, Director at Prosperity 24/7. But with support from male allies and a commitment to inclusive hiring, she believes progress is possible. We also spoke to Geraldine Evans (COO at Prosperity 24/7), Reed Technology’s Michele Smith and First Point Group’s Sean Furey who offered industry-wide insight into what’s still holding women back — and where positive change is happening. 📖 Read the full article on Women in Tech: https://buff.ly/aZVV0Ni #GenderPayGap #PayEquity
