At the People Analytics & Future of Work conference in San Francisco last February Vidir Ragnarsson from Reykjavik Energy gave an insightful talk on how Reykjavik Energy tackled the task of measuring and closing their Gender Pay Gap within a few years.

In a recent blog post for PRCA PayAnalytics Co-founder and Chairman Margrét Bjarnadóttir explains in a nutshell how data and analytics are essential to the process of closing pay gaps – and keeping them closed. She explains, among other things, the two types of pay gaps most commonly mentioned in the press and the difference between the two. The blogpost also embeds a video where Margrét amongst others discusses the role of ethics and fairness when closing pay gaps. The discussion was a part of the PRCA Ethics month.

The World Economic Forum estimates that it will take over 200 years to close the gender pay gap. No one should have the patience to wait that long. How can we accelerate change? The answer may lay in data and models with a good dose of transparency.

The journey starts with gathering the data and understanding the pay structure. Then companies move on to identifying areas for improvement and eliminating unexplained demographic pay gaps through corrective action—in other words, ensuring equal pay for equal work.

In einem Interview mit HR today spricht Vidir Ragnarsson über die Rolle von Technologien im HR, neue Rekrutierungsmöglichkeiten und die Herausforderungen die auf HR jetzt kommen.
