Introduction: In this case study episode, Michelle shares how one organisation successfully reduced its pay gap by nearly 15% over three years.

The organisation implemented a sponsorship program where senior leaders actively sponsored high-potential women, providing them with visibility, mentorship, and opportunities for advancement.

The company revised its parental leave policies to offer equal opportunities to both parents, which resulted in a more balanced division of responsibilities and reduced biases against women in career advancement.

By maintaining transparency in their efforts and setting clear, measurable goals, the organization built trust and showed commitment to reducing the gender pay gap, which led to significant progress over three years.

Quote Highlight: "Real change happens when policies align with the company’s values, and actions back them up."

Success is not just about meeting legal requirements for reporting pay gaps. It's about creating a culture where equality is ingrained in every organisational process, from recruitment to promotion.

Success in pay gap reduction should be measured by long-term impacts such as employee retention, satisfaction, and the growth of diverse talent in leadership roles.

Organisations need to focus on more than just reducing the numbers; they should aim for comprehensive measures that include policy changes, fostering an inclusive culture, and continuous monitoring and improvement.

Introduction: In this episode, host Michelle Gyimah discusses common misconceptions about pay gaps and the metrics that organisations often chase without achieving real impact.

‌

Many organisations focus on metrics like the average pay gap without digging deeper into the underlying causes. Michelle emphasises that understanding the root causes—such as gender bias in promotions or unequal access to high-paying roles—is key to making real progress.

‌

Organisations should prioritise actionable steps, such as conducting regular salary audits, providing bias training for leadership, and setting measurable diversity and inclusion goals.

‌

Michelle stresses that leadership buy-in is essential for closing the pay gap. Training leaders to understand and act on pay gap issues is more effective than relying on surface-level metrics.

‌

Quote Highlight: "Chasing the wrong metrics will keep you in a loop; instead, focus on measurable actions that bring real change."
