How should employers approach equal pay audits?

Establishing an organisational culture that nurtures diversity and equality, with a commitment to offering equal pay in a fair and consistent manner, is one of the most high-profile challenges facing senior management today. Using tools such as equal pay audits to identify potential flaws in pay structures and practices can provide the practical insights needed to manage reputational and operational risks as well as inform the organisation’s longer-term pay strategy. Sarah Henchoz, a partner in Allen & Overy’s employment team, and counsel Rachel Reeves, join PSL counsel Sheila Fahy to discuss the role and importance of culture, equal pay and the issues that employers should consider before conducting an equal pay audit.
