Six in 10 organizations recently surveyed by Korn Ferry say they are addressing gender pay issues, and another 17% say they plan to do so in the next year or so. But it’s not because of some altruistic streak.
“The reason the best performing organizations are finally doing something about it, rather than paying lip service to diversity and simply ticking boxes on pay equity compliance, is because it makes business sense to do that,” says Tom McMullen, a Korn Ferry senior client partner and a leader in the firm's Rewards and Benefits Solutions practice.
