How to curb gender inequality

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
