Whether you're a solopreneur or managing a team, the more balanced, flexible and diverse your business is - the healthier it will be. So, over the next few months, shine a light on your HR. Take an honest look at any gender pay gap...
While the gender pay gap is smaller than a decade ago, a collection of top New Zealand business people are working hard to reduce it further. CEOs and Chairs from companies such as IBM, Saatchi and Saatchi, PwC and Vector have joined Champions for Change. Together, they're advocating for greater inclusion and diversity within their own organisation, sector, and the wider public arena. Why? Because creating gender balanced workplaces is not only the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do.
Look at your people data: how many men and women work for you? Are there more men at senior levels or in roles that lead to senior positions? What's the difference in pay between all men and all women? Once you know where your problems lie, you can start fixing them.
"For me, unconscious bias is the main challenge - addressing it starts with looking in the mirror and realising that you have it whether you are aware of it or not."
Simon Mackenzie, CEO of Vector.
One thing's for sure, looking after yourself and your people will give you a competitive advantage and set you in good stead for 2020.
