Mckinsey:
• Companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 21% more likely to have financial returns above their respective national industry medians.
• Globally, companies in the top quartile for executive-level gender diversity are 21% more likely to outperform their fourth-quartile peers on EBIT and 27% more likely to outperform them on longer-term value creation (measured using an economic profit margin).
What Does Diversity Mean for Your Bottom Line?

Types of Pay Inequity
Different types of pay inequities require different strategies to correct them. Today’s discussion will focus on “Job-to-Job Differences in Pay”.
1. “Career Clustering”
Higher incidence of women in lower paid professions
2. “Job-to-Job Differences in Pay”
Equal pay for equal work

Compa ratio:
The ratio of an individual’s pay to the median of the of the range for their position.
• Typically expressed as a number or percent
• A compa ratio of 1 or 100% means the individual is paid at the mid-point of the range
Company Size & Compa Ratios
Example:
• Company’s pay range for a position: $60K - $80K
• Median: $70K
• Sally’s pay is $65K and Tom’s pay is $75K
• Sally’s compa ratio: 65/70 = .93 or 93%
• Tom’s compa ratio: 75/70 = 1.1 or 110%
The methods for assessing pay equity vary significantly depending on the SIZE of the company. Large companies can use regression analysis. For small to mid-sized companies, compa ratios are a key tool.
$60K $80K$70K
Sally$65K
Tom$75K

• A simple way to determine if you have “job-to-job differences in pay” in a small to mid-size company is to chart your compa ratios and experience by:
• Job
• Department
• Pay Grade
• Full Company
…Very quickly a picture will emerge if there are potential gender pay gaps that need to be addressed
How Do You Know If You Have A Problem?
The majority of job-to-job differences in pay arise from inequities in starting pay and/or how performance is evaluated and corresponding pay raises are given out over time.

How Do You Know If You Have A Problem?Scenarios that Signal an Issue (1 of 2)
Graphing compa ratios & experience reveals situations &/or patterns that could be indicative of pay inequities. These situations require deeper investigation to determine if there is a “reasonable” explanation or if pay inequity exists.
