- Consider pay transparency:
The 2016 Glassdoor study found research showing that salary transparency can help eliminate gender pay gaps and play an important role in helping to achieve balance. - Offer child care solutions:
Offering childcare on site can help to ease some additional burden on working mothers, and this allows them to have more time for work. Furthermore, corporate discounted daycare, or opening a flexible spending account to help supplement parents’ expenses also shows respect for their effort and helps them achieve a better work-life balance. This way, women can focus more on their career in comparison with their male counterparts and serves to eliminate gender stereotypes. - Provide mentorships to strong talents:
Mentors can advise female employees on how to build their appeal for advancement opportunities, like adding to their skill sets, continuing their education, and learning how to network. - Educate mentors on how to be fair:
Many managers don’t realize they speak to women differently than men. Train your management team to effectively lead and do so in a fair way. Offer every employee consistent feedback, encourage their input, offer professional development, and coach everyone equally.
