Workshop : How to make equal pay a reality in companies
Currently, the gender pay gap is 16.1 % in Europe and 15.1% in Switzerland. Many voices have asked for equal pay to become a reality - President Obama, Hollywood actors, even … Pope Francesco who said the gender pay gap is a “pure scandal”. Several governments have set equal pay as a priority and taken active measures to enforce it. In Switzerland, the government has actively supported various initiatives both from the public and the private sectors and is working on a law to enforce control for companies.
Given this context, companies are encouraged to take a stand for equal pay to show they take this issue seriously before governments force them through legislation.
EQUAL-SALARY - certified companies have taken up the challenge and proven they adhere to equal pay. As ambassadors, they inform and engage their colleagues into taking a stand for equal pay!
The workshop will allow discovering the EQUAL-SALARY certification requirements, benefits and potential pitfalls. Laetitia Tierny D&I Manager at Philip Morris Int’l (PMI, the first EQUAL-SALARY certified multinational company, will describe how PMI has taken on the challenge and the next objectives.
