NEW EVENT: Missing out on the benefits?

Missing out on the benefits?

Wednesday 10 July 2013

10am-12noon, Glasgow Caledonian University, Britannia Building

Close the Gap and Glasgow Caledonian University are hosting a seminar which will present and discuss the research findings of Reporting on the Gender Pay Gap in Scotland.

Reporting on the Gender Pay Gap in Scotland found that employers are missing out on the business benefits of equal pay, where only 3% of the employers surveyed had taken any actions to tackle their gender pay gaps.

At this morning seminar we will hear from Emily Thomson, the principle researcher on this project and Emma Ritch the Project Manager of Close the Gap.
