​Have you heard of equal pay day?

8/12/2016

The gender pay gap is the difference between male and female earnings expressed as a percentage of male earnings, according to the OECD. Fawcett Society has calculated this and sets  the date as 9 November ... meaning that after this date, women are effectively working for FREE.  

There are many factors contributing to this. An area I believe has a huge impact, is that of salary negotiation. "We only get paid what we negotiate - NOT what we are worth" (quote credited to my dear friend Brad Lange, Australia).  Research shows that negotation is an area women would benefit from increased capability and confidence with. I'm working on a whole chapter of the book to help break this down, demistify negotiation, and make it really easy to work through. Don't wait for me though - get out there and ask for what you're worth! (or email me if you want a hand to do so).


This quote from Lottie O’Conor​ sums it up well ....
Imagine if your boss came over to your desk this afternoon, thanked you for all your hard work so far, but said that the company wouldn’t be paying you for the remainder of the year. You’re still expected to be in the office on time every morning, work late on that big pitch or project and hit those targets. You just don’t get paid for your time. Why? Because you’re a woman.
