Equal Pay Day Your Company Cant Close the Gender Wage Gap

Equal Pay Day Your Company Can’t Close the Gender Wage Gap Companies aren’t faceless entities. They’re made up of peopleâ€"front-line employees and mid-level managers as well as executives, all making small choices every day that positively or negatively impact the pay gap at their own organizations. Any time you have a problem that requires a large group of people to move in the same direction toward a solution, you’re going to run into challenges. The gender pay gap can be eradicated, but it’s not a one-time, top-down fix, and no single person or department can own the initiative. Ensuring that every employee has access to equitable pay and opportunities must come from all parts of an organization. Every employee has to do their part. Here’s how to make that happen. Clarify the problem You can’t help fix a problem that you don’t see, understand, or believe in. And, yes, there are still people who deny that the gender pay gap even exists, despite overwhelming evidence that it does. It doesn’t help that data are sometimes used out of context. For example, the commonly quoted statistic of women making 78 cents for every dollar a man makes in the U.S. is sometimes used to talk about the concept of “equal pay for equal work.” The pay gap between men and women doing the same job and holding all else constant is much smallerâ€"about 97 cents on the dollar. But that’s an economy-wide average. There are much larger gaps for particular types of jobs. For example, women working in Farming, Fishing Forestry occupations make 91 cents on the dollar when controlling for all factors except gender. For women in Installation, Maintenance, Repair jobs, it’s 92 cents. The controlled pay gap also grows as women advance in their careers with female executives making 94 cents on the dollar. What the 78-cent statistic does demonstrate is that women are underrepresented in the best-paying jobs in many organizationsâ€"from the tech team to the executive ranks to the board of directors. And it’s worse for women of color. Highlight the problem in your own backyard Even when people acknowledge that the gender pay gap is an issue in the U.S. labor market, they often don’t believe it’s happening at their own organization. In a recent PayScale survey, we asked 140,000 employees if women and men have equal opportunities in most workplaces. Sixty-seven percent of men said yes, while only 38% of women agreed. However, both men and women tended to believe their own organization was better than average: 75% of men said men and women have equal opportunities at their own workplace, compared to 51% of women. “Our number one goal has to be awareness that a problem exists,” said Matt Wallaert, behavioral scientist and founder of GetRaised.com, in a recent interview with PayScale. “Implicit bias training and other programs are interesting only to the extent that they help people to see that inequity is real, and not just somewhere over there, but around all of us. Otherwise, we’re all just standing in a circle, pointing at each other.” Video Player is loading.Play VideoPlayMuteCurrent Time  0:00/Duration  0:00Loaded: 0%Stream Type  LIVESeek to live, currently playing liveLIVERemaining Time  -0:00  Playback Rate1xChaptersChaptersDescriptionsdescriptions off, selectedCaptionscaptions and subtitles off, selectedAudio TrackFullscreenThis is a modal window.Beginning of dialog window.

It’s the law after all. But, the reality is that pay inequities may exist without organizations even realizing it. Start by taking a close look at the compensation data you have access to (your team, for example) and encourage your organization to do a more comprehensive analysis. Broaden the talent recruiting pool If you’re a hiring manager, go beyond your college alma mater, employee referrals, etc. Those are the complacent practices that make technology companies, for example, overly homogenous (read: male and white). As it turns out, more diverse teams have been shown to drive better business results. According to a study out of MIT, “economists found that shifting from an all-male or all-female office to one split evenly along gender lines could increase revenue by roughly 41 percent.” Use data to support employee compensation decisions Ensure your decisions about who gets a raise are based on things you can measure. When pay is better tied to performance, you can ensure your decisions are above reproach. More subjective measures of employee performance can negatively impact fair pay practices or at least make your employees feel like it’s not clear why one person got a raise and one didn’t. (Yes, they probably are discussing their pay. And, it’s generally illegal to tell them they can’t.) Check your own biases The way we perceive the worldâ€"including our employees, coworkers, and managersâ€"is shaped by our personal and often unconscious biases. And we use mental shortcuts shaped by those biases to make quick decisions. It’s not easy to push against what feels like “gut instinct,” but we should because our gut can be wrong. In a recent study by ICEDR, a global HR talent academy, researchers found that while organizational leaders overwhelmingly believe women in their 30s leave companies because of “flexibility needs and family demands,” the primary reason women cite for leaving companies is low pay, followed by lack of learning/development opportunities and uninteresting work without meaning. Those motivations closely mirror those of their male colleagues. READ NEXT: Why You Should Care About the Hollywood Wage Gap One of the study’s authors, Christie Hunter Arscott, said in a Harvard Business Review article, “While options for flexibility and work-life balance are important, the bottom line is that motherhood is not the primary reason why talented women are leaving organizations. Focusing retention strategies on this alone, without also considering pay and compensation fairness, will ultimately jeopardize retention and advancement efforts.” The lesson here? Even our attempts at a fix can be influenced by our unconscious bias. Assumptions can lead us down a path that won’t ultimately resolve anything. Make gender equity a continuous effort There is no one-time fix for the gender pay gap. Pay equity will be an ongoing challenge and something that has to be actively managed. Employees will get raises and promotions. New employees will be hired. And every decision that’s made along the way can start to undo progress you’ve made to ensure equitable pay and opportunities at your organization. Pay equity has to be a commitment that is organization wide and starts to be a driver of the company’s culture. Employers that figure out how to weave fairness and diversity into the fabric of their organization will have a competitive advantage when it comes to talent acquisition and retention, business results, and longevity.

HOLIDAY TIP 3 Steps to Shut Down the Job Search Discussion - Work It Daily

HOLIDAY TIP 3 Steps to Shut Down the Job Search Discussion - Work It Daily Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love a good meal! However, not everyone is excited about the holiday season being upon us. Here’s why… It’s the season for lots of get-togethers â€" and with that comes the dreaded question, “So, how’s the job search coming?” from family and friends. If you are one of the estimated 15M+ who is between jobs right now and actively looking for work, this question might as well be a hot poker being pushed into your gut. It’s hard enough to be out there looking right now. The last thing you need is a reminder of your lack-of-employment status from people who know how to push your buttons, right? I understand. That why there’s the 3-step process I teach all the members of CAREEREALISM Club to use to shut down job search conversations at holiday events. In fact, last week I worked with a dozen members of the club, helping them find their own voice when using this process. We even had them practice what to say within the privacy of our network so they were fully prepared to use it. You could literally feel the sighs of relief through the computer! I promise. This works: Step 1: The one-word answer. When you get asked, “So, how’s the job search coming along?” simply say, “Great. Thanks for asking.” Or, “Super. Thanks for asking.” Or even, “Fine. Thanks for asking.” Pick one word (i.e. It should be positive, negative words will only make the situation worse.), followed by a statement that implies the topic isn’t open for discussion. When you state, “Thanks for asking,” you are making it clear you don’t want to talk about. About 80% of the population gets this verbal cue. But alas, we all have certain family or friends who lack social intelligence. In which case, move to step 2. Step 2: Remind them today’s a holiday. If the person persists with, “Well, what have you been doing to find work?” this is your opportunity to remind them it’s your day off too. I suggest you say something like, “I’ve been working at my job search full-time. Thanks for asking, but since today’s a holiday, I’m taking a day off from talking about it. I appreciate you inquiring though.” This is more blunt, yet still polite enough for them to take the hint without getting flustered. I know lots of you hate the idea of conversational conflict. Honestly, who likes it? But sometimes, you have to be more direct in order to get people to stop pushing. Now, for those family and friends who are truly clueless, there’s always step 3. Step 3: Explain you only take advice from experts. When the overbearing in-law or snarky, jealous sibling decides to push the envelope, it’s time to pull out the honesty card and put them in their place. Unless they are a proven career expert with a track record of helping people find work, then truly, they have no business discussing your job search and making suggestions â€" which we know they are just dying to do. So, when they say things like, “Well, have you tried this?” Or, “So-and-so’s brother got a job by doing this,” you can respond with, “I really appreciate your interest, but the experts I’ve been following and getting advice from are providing all the help I need. I assure you, I’m getting great assistance from professionals who know what it’s really like out there and how to get results. So thanks, but I don’t need any additional help.” This will guaranteed shut them down. If they take offense, or say something about you not being appreciative or nice, simply say, “Actually, I think I’ve made it perfectly clear today isn’t the day to talk about this. I’m sorry, but I feel you’re the one that is being disrespectful of my wishes.” REMEMBER: We allow people to treat us the way they do. Not everyone is as nice or polite as you. That being said, this is your job search â€" not theirs. They have no business asking you about this â€" particularly on a holiday when you’ve already tried nicely to end the discussion. Don’t feel bad, fight back! It’s their insensitivity that is causing the problem â€" not you. P.S. â€" For true success with this process, always end on a high note. It helps to have a something positive to switch the subject to, especially if you had to use step 3. I suggest you think about something exciting or positive that has happened to you or someone you know and redirect the conversation to that. Talk about a great movie you saw, an event you attended, or accomplishment that you felt good about. Maybe you volunteered recently, or achieved a personal fitness milestone. It doesn’t matter, just find something positive to talk about that moves the conversation in a good direction. This will help any uncomfortable feelings around the job search discussion be buried quickly. I hope this helps all of you out there realize that you are entitled to enjoy the holidays as much as anyone else. Being between jobs does not brand you with a Scarlet U. Being unemployed does not define you as a person and definitely doesn’t mean you should not enjoy your life. In fact, at CAREEREALISM Club, we remind members daily you must push ‘play’ on life, regardless of your job status. FACT: Holding back from living will only slow your job search down. So, get out there and enjoy the holidays! Especially now, that you’ve learned the right way to control the conversation. Does anyone have any additional suggestions? Please share them below. Let’s help readers feel 100% confident in their ability to address this successfully. Have you joined our career growth club?Join Us Today!

Grieving At Work

Grieving At Work No one knows how to absprache with grief. Losing a friend, family member or loved one affects each of us differently. Depending on your distributions-mix of employment, you may be entitled to a few days of bereavement leave, but anyone whos ever lost someone knows youll never be able to bottle up all your grief in the few days you get before you have to head back to work.Learning to deal with your grief can seem like an insurmountable task a full-time job all by itself. While we cant help take away the pain, here are some tips to help you face the idea of going back to work when youre still grieving.Step 1 Talk to Your BossBringing up a recent losswhen youre talking to your bossis probably the last thing you want to do, but letting them know whats going on is important. You dont have to go into detail. You dont even have to let them know how youre handling it.This step has a secondary purpose, too. Your boss is going to be the one who can tell you about your company s bereavement leave policy. Most companies offer a few days, either paid or unpaid, of leave. If more time is required, this is the time to have that conversation as well.Depending on company policy, you may be able to take an unpaid leave of absence after your bereavement leave is up. You wont get paid, but it ensures your job will be there when you get back.Step 2 Take the Time You NeedAs weve already mentioned, youre leid going to be able to bottle up all your grieving in the few days that are available for bereavement leave. Things you might not expect could trigger your grief and leave you a crying mess behind your desk anything from a scent to an article you come across.If what you need is a hug, ask for one. If you need a Netflix and ice cream binge, then let yourself enjoy a new show or an old favorite.Take the time to be kind to yourself, no matter what that means to you. It wont fix everything, but it will make you feel better for a few minutes. And when youre living one minute at a time, a few minutes is worth everything.Step 3 Keep Yourself BusyStaying busy, whether thats at work or at home, is one of the best things you can do for yourself while youre grieving. You dont need to take up a new hobby or throw yourself into your work or anything so dramatic. Just getting up, showering, making yourself a meal and writing an email to a friend can be enough.Dont let it make you avoid your grief you cant avoid it forever. Staying busy shouldnt be used to avoid grief. Instead, it should help you move forward so you dont stagnate in it. Its easy to let your grief hold you in one place, but staying busy keeps you going.Step 4 Be Kind to Others, TooIts hard to deal with our own grief, but its even harder for people to think of the right thing to say or the best way to help someone who is grieving. You can expect people to come to you and offer their sympathies. You can also expect them to say exactly the wrong thing. It might make you cry or it might make yo u angry, and they wont know how to deal with that, either.Be patient with them. They mean well and theyre trying to help as best they can, even if what theyre saying is entirely wrong for how youre feeling in the moment.Step 5 Ask for Help (And Accept It)Your friends, family and coworkers will probably offer some form of help when they learn of your loss. Whether theyre offering to help with work, chores, cooking or something else entirely, everyone tends to offer to help when they learn someone is grieving. Weve got three words for you Let. Them. Help.If you need help with something,ask for it. If someone offers to help with work or offers to bring you a home cooked meal, accept it. Theyve all been there, at one time or another. They all know how hard it can be to accomplish even the simplest tasks when all you can see is your pain. Take all the help you can get.Take time tofigure out if treatment would be an option to consider. If you are struggling to get through the day or just need someone to talk to, there are professionals who can help.Grief is not something that can be easily explained or experienced. The best description of grieflikens it to waves when youre swimming the ocean at first, theyre tsunamis that hit every few seconds and dont leave you any time to breathe. But as time goes on, the waves get smaller and farther apart. They never go away because the ocean is never still, but they get easier to weather as you heal and get stronger.Going back to work after a loss is never easy, but it isnt the impossible task it might first appear to be. Take things one step at a time, or one second at a time if steps seem too hard, and know it will get better with time.--Sarah Landrum is an expert career blogger and the founder of Punched Clocks, a career and lifestyle blog helping professionals create a career they love and live a happy, healthy life.

Working At PwC

Working At PwC PwCs Purpose - To build trust in society and solve important problems - is their global, shared articulation of why they do what they do.If youre interested in joining the team at PwC, click here to see all of their available opportunities and dont forget to press Follow to receive custom job matches, event invitations and more One of the biggest challenges in almost all industries today is achieving gender parity. Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an architects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When wa s the last time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 million construction employees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot more to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a study conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborati ve nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive innovation and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentation technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of wo rkers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
