Gender Pay Gap
Gender Pay Gap
Why it Matters
A truly inclusive workplace goes beyond diversity—it ensures equity and fairness in compensation. Organizations that commit to pay transparency foster higher employee trust, stronger engagement, and better business performance. Research shows that companies with equitable pay structures experience higher retention rates, greater innovation, and stronger financial results.
Additionally, a wave of regulations is reshaping the corporate landscape, requiring businesses to increase pay transparency and publish their gender pay gaps. Key regulations include: Corporate Social Responsibility Directive (CSRD); European Banking Authority (EBA) and EU Pay Transparency Act. Each regulation has unique reporting standards and requirements, making compliance a complex task for many organizations.

Adjusted Pay Gap
Adjusted Pay Gap
Why it Matters
A fair and inclusive workplace doesn’t just attract top talent—it drives business success. Yet, many organizations face persistent gender pay gaps, often exceeding the 5% threshold identified in the EU Pay Transparency Act.
While the unadjusted gender pay gap highlights the issue understanding the adjusted gender pay gap is crucial for identifying the true drivers behind it and taking meaningful action to address the disparity. Closing this gap isn’t just a compliance measure—it’s a strategic investment in creating a more engaged, productive, and high-performing workforce.
How We Can Help
Using the Oaxaca-Blinder econometric model, we analyze your gender pay gap to uncover:
- Explained Factors – Differences attributable to gender-neutral characteristics, such as job grades, organizational structure, or other features collected in your data..
- Unexplained Factors – Disparities attributable to missing data or hidden inequities.
This analysis doesn’t just highlight the gap—it provides the insights needed to drive meaningful change. With data-driven clarity, your organization can take proactive steps toward fostering pay equity, diversity, and inclusion, leading to stronger talent retention, innovation, and business growth at detailed as job level.

Equal Pay for Equal Work
Equal Pay for Equal Work
Why it Matters
Achieving equal pay for equal work is a cornerstone of a fair and inclusive workplace. Yet, many organizations struggle to distinguish between gender pay gaps and equal pay for equal work—two related but distinct issues. A gender pay gap does not per say indicate unfair pay practices, but unexplained disparities within the same role can signal hidden inequities that undermine trust, retention, and performance.
Equal pay for equal work means that employees performing the same job, with comparable skills, experience, responsibilities, and working conditions, must receive the same compensation—regardless of gender, race, or other personal characteristics. This principle is critical for building a workplace where fairness, transparency, and inclusion are the foundation of business success.
Closing the equal pay gap isn’t just about compliance—it’s about building a workplace where all employees feel valued, fairly compensated, and motivated to contribute to business success.
How We Can Help
Our Equal Pay for Equal Work analysis uses a statistically rigorous methodology to identify individual pay outliers. Put simply, when two employees occupy the same role (e.g., “chairs”), they should receive equal pay.
Our analysis:
- Identifies employees whose pay may not align with their peers in comparable roles.
- Offers a dashboard to explore disparities across your organization, empowering you to take targeted corrective action.
Let’s work together to make pay equity a reality!
