Cheeky Half Episode (19): Gender Pay Gaps and Leadership Responsibility

Message us!For this Cheeky Half Paul & KG riff on the latest report by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, the "Employer Gender Pay Gaps Snapshot." It is both, a compelling and somewhat unsettling look at Australia's progress in reaching gender pay equity. The many interesting pieces of data lead them to ask a couple of simple questions: "What conversations are people in leadership positions actually having about the existing gender pay gap? And is it that difficult a problem to solve?"It will not surprise you to hear [spoiler alert!] they don't end up solving this conundrum. But nevertheless they firmly believe leaders have a responsibility beyond finance and economics to find a way through this intractable problem. Is it ultimately a reflection of how we actually value our people?Here are some useful links:1.  Workplace Gender Equality Agency 2.  Employer Gender Pay Gaps Snapshot We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation.Please let us know through either of the options below.Please reach out on [email protected] or visit us at www.leadershipdecanted.comDisagree or agree with anything we've said?
