The Fawcett Society announced that 20 November 2022 was Equal Pay Day this year – but it is not a day to celebrate. From this day to the end of the year, women are, on average, working for free because of the ongoing gender pay gap. A stark fact particularly given the cost of living crisis and impending recession.
In our latest podcast, Helen Dallimore from byrne·dean speaks with Sarah Lyons and Hannah Bradshaw of BlueSky about why we are still here, the wider impact of the gender pay gap and wealth inequality and the positive steps we can take to challenge and address this in our workplaces. They share their experiences and insights as employment lawyers, mothers and DEI experts. Sarah and Hannah also bring their wealth of knowledge from their roles as executive coaches who create sustainable change and ensure female talent is retained and thrives in law firms. As they highlight, tackling these issues will not only benefit women; it benefits everyone – businesses, the economy and society as a whole.
