How much of a gender pay gap is there in your organisation? Assuming there is some sort of pay differential between men and women in your employ (and few organisations can say otherwise), are you more or less of an equal opportunities employer than other companies?
The Government Equalities Office is encouraging employers to calculate and post their gender pay gap on its website using a standard methodology. And to help things on their way it has already published the pay gaps in different government departments.
Most equal, it turns out rather fortunately, is the Government Equalities Office itself, where women actually earn 0.9% more than men at the median. Least equal is the National Weights and Measures Laboratory, where men earn 28.5% more than women.
The problem with all these figures, though, is that they are at the organisational level, so the figures are pretty meaningless if there is a preponderance of men or women in particular types of jobs.
I am pleased to report that XpertHR JobPricing powered by CELRE, launched only last week, offers a somewhat more sophisticated approach.
Companies which subscribe to and participate in CELRE surveys can use any set of criteria they want to narrow the job criteria - job role, level of seniority, location and industry, for example - and see how men and women's pay compares within any one job family.
If your organisation's data is in the survey sample, you can also see your company's data using the same selection criteria set against the industry norms.
It's a nice little application in our new JobPricing service, and one we are rather proud of at XpertHR. You can find out more about our salary surveys and what JobPricing offers on the main XpertHR website.
