“55% of respondents would also still apply to a workplace with a poor gender pay gap if they could prove a commitment to closing that gender pay gap, and I think that's you know it's an important thing to remember. So if you're in a position where your pay gap data doesn't look great, all is not lost, but you have to be in a position where you can prove what your commitment looks like to actually closing it. “
“You can't stop being cancelled. What you can do is prepare your internal and external comms to handle any criticism that may come your way due to your figures. But you can only do that if you prepare.”
