Improving workplace equality is on the list of concerns and priorities for European employers, with many moving to address equal pay and workplace harassment, according to the findings of a newly released European employer survey.
The survey of 572 in-house counsel and human resources professionals, conducted by law firm Littler, found European employers are focusing a great deal of attention on equal pay issues, even more so than last year. Providing female and diverse employees with more training and opportunities for advancement showed the greatest increase (33 percent in 2019, compared to 21 percent in 2018), followed by improving transparency around wages and pay policies (30 percent, up from 21 percent) and modifying compensation policies (32 percent, up from 25 percent).
