Acknowledge gender inequality in the organization and document it. Develop compensation criteria which do not involve subjective decisions to ensure consistently pay women and men equitably for comparable work. Analyze hiring data to determine any gender-based bias in the recruitment process. Create mentoring and training opportunities for women to develop their skills, network, and move into roles of higher paying jobs or roles where promotion might lead to increased salary. Ensure female representation on decision-making bodies such as staff committees or boards of directors. Establish fair access to maternity leave benefits so that there are no negative repercussions for women who are pregnant or have small children. Work with external partners such as a nonprofit advocacy group to assess organizational policies related gender equality and consider further changes as needed.”

In order to reduce gender inequality in your organization, it's important to conduct an anonymous salary audit to assess current compensation practices. This should be followed by adopting appropriate policies such as a standard pay structure which takes into account the market value of each job role and includes adjustments for experience, special skills and qualifications. You should also ensure transparency in all processes related to pay such as job descriptions, performance reviews and evaluations. Finally, implement corrective actions when needed by ensuring fair pay rates for both genders are respected.
