The Gender Pay Gap with Yasmine Guerin of Negotiatress

September 20, 2023 • School of Hiring

In this episode, we cast a spotlight on a subject of utmost significance: the gender pay gap, particularly in the context of recent European legislation mandating compensation disclosure in job advertisements. The EU Pay Transparency Directive, designed to combat the gender pay gap within the European Union, has brought this critical issue to the forefront. Notably, in 2020, the EU's gender pay gap stood at 13%, with only marginal improvement over the preceding decade.

As global awareness of persistent gender wage disparities grows, it's vital to grasp the multifaceted nature of this challenge. The new legislation represents a momentous stride toward transparency and equity in the job market, aiming to narrow the gender pay gap by exposing salary inequalities right from the outset of the hiring process.

But the question lingers: Is this measure alone sufficient to resolve the issue?

Joining us as our esteemed guest today is Yasmine Guerin, the Founder of Negotiatress—an initiative that equips women of all backgrounds and ages with the tools to negotiate for themselves effectively. Yasmine is also a certified mediator and group facilitator, boasting over 12 years of expertise in the realms of negotiation and conflict resolution. Our paths have crossed before at Caissa, where we've collaborated on technology and DEI-focused hiring.

Throughout this episode, we pose thought-provoking questions, dissect the underlying causes of the gender pay gap, and explore how salary transparency can act as a catalyst for transformation. Tune in as we engage in an insightful conversation with industry experts, advocates, and thought leaders to unravel the intricacies of this pivotal issue. We'll also delve into the potential repercussions of these legislative changes on employers, job seekers, and society at large.

In this episode, we'll explore:

The profound significance of disclosing compensation in job adverts and its role in addressing the gender pay gap.
A comprehensive examination of the primary factors contributing to the gender pay gap, along with an exploration of how salary transparency can help mitigate these disparities.
The challenges and opportunities that the European legislation presents for employers, job seekers, and the broader workforce.
