More success thanks to the EQUAL-SALARY certification
How can your company commit to inclusion and diversity? Three simple steps will lead you to EQUAL-SALARY certification.
01
Statistical analysis
The statistical regression model analyses the pay gap. A list of individual employee cases that fall outside the criteria is generated to create a specific action plan for them. In the case of an unsuccessful outcome, the process can be suspended for up to 12 months for remedial action.
02
On-site audit
During the on-site audit, PwC performs audit procedures in accordance with international standards, the subject matter of which is as follows:
- The willingness of management to equalise pay
- Integration of equal pay policies within the HR processes and policies
- Employee perception of the company pay practices.
- HR policies: looking for potential gaps that could lead to discrimination and affect the development of employees
03
Certification
After passing the audit, the company is awarded the EQUAL-SALARY label by the independent EQUAL-SALARY Foundation. The certification is valid for 3 years. During the period, PwC carries out two surveillance audits to check for possible improvements.
