Nobody thinks it is normal that women earn less than men while they do equivalent work. No one wants their wife, partner, daughter, niece, girlfriend, etc. to earn less than a male colleague who does equivalent work. Equal pay for employees who earn equal work must become the new normal.
Fortunately, there are many employers who also believe this and therefore have equal pay for equal work high on their agenda. Employers who really consider good employment practices important. But often they do not communicate this clearly enough.
Employers, HR & Recruitment, express that equal pay is considered important and normal in your organization. Clearly demonstrate good employment practices in this area as well. This clearly distinguishes you from other employers.
Put it on your website, share it under the employment conditions heading in the open vacancies, discuss it during the monthly staff update, while recruiting new colleagues at a fair, during a job interview, etc. In short, make sure that equal pay is indeed the new normal.
Then everyone knows where they stand and you get satisfied employees in return who feel even more appreciated. Not unwise in this tight labor market and only fair. What are you waiting for?
And are you going to apply? During the job interview, ask whether equal pay is considered normal. This question is only normal and then you will immediately know whether you are working for a good employer. Important for the appreciation of your work and for the future with this employer.
