Friday Coffee Talk from Planet Fair
Margret and Henrike, the award-winning founders of PayAnalytics and FPI Fair Pay Innovation Lab respectively, converse with their guests about fair pay, equality and better workplaces, all while sharing their own visions of a future where we strive towards "Planet Fair". Margret usually has her cappuccino in Reykjavík or Washington, D.C. while Henrike enjoys her cup either at Berlin Wannsee or on an island in the Atlantic. The episodes are available as a YouTube Videocast or as an Audio Podcast. You can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
Margret and Henrike discuss the International Fair Pay Conference, in which Margret will participate (via videocall) as an expert. The focus of the conference will be on the new EU directive on fair pay, which is intended to ensure greater transparency across Europe. But what does transparency actually mean?
Margret and Henrike discuss buying power, and the fact that so many women of minorities in post-Covid context are considering leaving their jobs in pay equity... But most of all, it's about the question: Why is transparency so essential on the path to equality?
Margret and Henrike discuss Sweden, where a completely different course was set in terms of equality back in the 1970s. Our two pay gap experts take this as an opportunity to make a bold leap into the future.
Margret and Henrike discuss the process needed to value activities for a non-discriminatory pay system. How can work be valued? What is the best way to measure the value of different activities? How can similar and equivalent activities be compared? And do these questions have to be answered perfectly from the start?
Margret and Henrike discuss the question of all questions: What is the actual cost of closing the pay gaps? They also try to understand an astonishing paradox - in the beginning people assume everything is fine within their organization, but at the same time they fear that closing the gaps could be terribly expensive. But is that actually true? How expensive is it really?
Italy, the country with the lowest participation of women in the labor market is finally making progress. In 2021, then-Prime Minister Draghi set ambitious goals for pay equity: The administration aimed to drive down the unadjusted pay gap from 17% to 10% by 2026. But how is Italy going to do it? And how will these changes impact employers?
Margret and Henrike continue their last week's discussion about job evaluation systems but this time focused on unions. They talk about the importance of aligning your job evaluation scheme to the pay structure/decisions.
