At PMI, we see equal pay for equal work between men and women as the baseline standard for equality. We have confirmed that our actual pay practices match our good intentions with the Global EQUAL-SALARY Certification.
The EQUAL-SALARY Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization based in Switzerland. The EQUAL-SALARY Certification verifies that organizations have sustainable policies and practices to ensure that they pay their male and female employees equally for equal work.
Achieving EQUAL-SALARY certification is an important building block on the road to creating a more inclusive, gender-balanced workplace.
What about the gender gap?
While Global EQUAL-SALARY Certification doesn’t directly address the gender leadership gap at PMI, the qualitative audit is helping us uncover potential barriers that may hinder equal opportunities for women to advance.
We previously set ourselves a goal to achieve at least 40 percent female representation in management by 2022 and we are delighted to have reached that target.
This is a step in the right direction and to keep things moving forwards we have set out our next gender representation target: To achieve at least 35 percent of women in decision-making leadership roles by 2025.
