Pay equity is about rewarding people for their work equally based on the value they create, regardless of gender, race or other factors that are unrelated to performance.
For such a sensitive subject, pay equity can create a significant advantage. The key is to avoid superficial analyses that create as many problems as they’re supposed to fix. That’s why it’s important to understand the job- and performance-related factors that can explain variations in pay. That way, you can identify ways to improve within the context of your specific environment—then, in plain language, update shareholders, employees, customers, and the media on your pay equity-related initiatives.
