According to a new Glassdoor survey1 that dives deeper into income inequality and wage gap issues, two in five (39%) employees do not believe they receive fair pay in their current job. Further, more women (42%) than men (34%) do not believe they are being paid fairly.
Who can best address the pay gap issue?
Nearly three in five (57%) employees believe employers are in the best position to address pay gaps, compared to 30% of employees who believe Congress is in the best position to address the issue and 14% of employees who believe it is President Obama.
“Now is the time employers need to take a close look at their salary structure and determine where pay gaps exist, then fix it so employees know exactly where they stand in terms of compensation within their organization,” said Rusty Rueff, Glassdoor career and workplace expert. “When employees have a clearer understanding of how they’re being compensated without secrecy around salaries, not only can they feel empowered in their current jobs, they’re also often motivated to work towards the next level, which can improve productivity.”
