21 min - COVID-19 And The Gender Pay Gap: Why Women May Have Less Chances Of Promotion After The Pandemic
40% of employers expect more than half of their workforce to work from home after the COVID-19 pandemic has ended, and many of these are women. The danger in that is women will become less active in the workplace. With less visibility comes lesser chances of promotion.

- how the future workplace and the introduction of hybrid working is going to affect women's career prospects
- the risk of hybrid working on the visibility of women and how this will have negative impact on your organization's gender pay gap
- what you can do to stop this from happening and protect your reputation as a forward-thinking employer striving to attract, develop, and retain female talent in its workforce.

18 min - Addressing The Gender Pay Gap: Why Equal Pay Is Not The Only Solution
Sometimes, when I reach out to technology companies to find out what they’re doing to close their gender pay gap, they tell me “We don’t have a problem, we have an equal pay policy.” You can have an equal pay policy and still have a gender pay gap. The two are related, but they are not the same.
In this episode, we explore the difference between an equal pay policy and the gender pay gap so that you understand how your employer is offering equal pay and still have a gender pay gap. In order to close your gender pay gap, your organization needs to think more broadly about how to attract, retain, engage, and develop more women through the talent pipeline.
