All’inizio di settembre sono stati assegnati a Colonia i premi tedeschi per la Gestione delle Risorse Umane 2022 (Personalwirtschaftspreis). Allianz, una compagnia assicurativa globale con sede in Germania, ha vinto il primo premio nella categoria HR Tech e Digital per il suo approccio alla riduzione del divario retributivo a livello globale. Questo progetto garantisce la parità di retribuzione per oltre 100.000 dipendenti in più di 70 paesi, il che significa che presso le compagnie assicurative Allianz donne e uomini sono pagati allo stesso modo per uno stesso lavoro o per un lavoro di pari valore.

"With the right tools, supported with the right data, we can bring about workplace transformation and pay equity."

In the latest issue of Dynamic Magazine, our founder Margrét shares valuable insights for leaders using data analytics or AI on their pay equity journeys.

In a recent blog post for the German HR magazine Trend Report, PayAnalytics Co-founder Margrét Bjarnadóttir explained how important it is to recognize the limitation of AI-based HR tools when making important decisions about hiring, compensation, promotions, and training opportunities. Even when workplaces do strive for equity, their data can still reflect historical biases and discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, and class. Hence, to improve pay equity, companies need to find the right tools, identify where there are potential biases, and take the necessary steps to eliminate those biases.

Margret, our co-founder, Dr. Marie Louise Sunde, Founder and CEO of Equality Check, and Tuula Rytila, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Digital Stores had an inspiring discussion on a panel on gender equity at the Nordic Innovation Summit two weeks ago. The panel was called "The Scandinavian DEI Paradox—Not So Paradoxical?" referring to the fact that while the Nordics consistently score at the top of every equality scale, women are still underrepresented on boards and in top management.

California, the first U.S. state to pass a law on pay data reporting, is considering proposed legislation taking the requirements of the original bill even further. Senate Bill 973 on pay equity was passed in September 2020 and requires large employers to provide data on employees by race, ethnicity, and sex in the ten job categories and pay ranges used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The first data reports were submitted to the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) in March 2021.

Pay transparency has been regarded as an essential device to address and close pay gaps resulting from demographics, such as gender and race. New legislation, worldwide, aimed to address the gender pay gap - has in common an emphasis on more transparency in pay and pay decisions.

Il 3 dicembre 2021 l'Italia ha firmato una nuova legge sulla parità retributiva (Legge 162/2021) che mira ad affrontare il divario retributivo tra uomini e donne e a incoraggiare la partecipazione delle donne al mercato del lavoro. La legge introduce alcune importanti modifiche al Codice delle Pari Opportunità (D.Lgs. 198/2006), il quale vieta qualsiasi discriminazione retributiva, diretta ed indiretta, per uno stesso lavoro o un lavoro al quale è attribuito pari valore. La nuova legge, incentrata su trasparenza e premi, è in linea con il Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e di Resilienza (PNRR), il quali contiene, tra le altre cose, una Strategia Nazionale per la parità di genere 2021-2026.
