Pay equity at GHD: an ongoing commitment, not a one-off
GHD is committed to achieving pay equity – this is central to our reward culture. But what does “pay equity” mean and how does it work at GHD?
“Our goal is to ensure similar pay for people doing similar work, taking into account the many factors that influence pay such as performance, location and experience,” says Jan Sipsma, Chief People Officer. “This enables us to provide great employee experiences".
“Often, when people think of ‘pay equity’ they think of gender and legislated country pay equity requirements, but not all pay equity gaps are related to gender. This is why we have expanded our lens to ensure pay equity and fair pay for all our people while also helping them understand what ‘pay equity’ really means.”
We are committed to finding gaps and addressing them, and in every salary review we will continue to focus on pay equity.
“Pay equity is not a one-off. It’s an ongoing commitment,” says Susan McKay, Global Rewards Manager. “Every talent decision challenges our pay equity – as people join, change jobs or leave GHD. This is why we review pay equity four times a year, and why we will never ‘finish’ pay equity.”
We have a range of tools that help us assess and maintain pay equity, including Syndio, which helps us assess our pay equity, as well as consulting to provide best practice guidance and third-party oversight.
