How Pay Audits Reveal Hidden Gender Gaps

Lucas and Luna dig into the mechanics of pay equity audits—what they actually measure, how companies run them, and why a 2023 study found that over 40% of large US employers still don't conduct one. They walk through a concrete example: a mid-size tech firm that discovered a 7% unexplained gap between men and women in the same roles, and the two changes—standardized starting salaries and a one-time equity adjustment—that closed it in 18 months. They also discuss the limits of audits: how they miss intersectional gaps, what 'explained' vs 'unexplained' really means, and why transparency without accountability doesn't move the needle. No buzzwords, just the math and the decisions behind it. #PayEquity #GenderPayGap #Compensation #CompensationPodcast #Careers #Business #HumanResources #DEI #SalaryTransparency #PayAudit #EqualPay #WorkplaceEquity #LucasAndLuna #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DataDriven #EmployeeCompensation #TotalRewards Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
