Best Companies for Women in Pay Equity
ESPN understands the value of strong, clearly stated, proactive pay equity and has consistent follow up to ensure that managers are enacting the policy fairly. Its pay equity policy is one aspect of its unwavering focus on the business case for advancing women. ESPN’s pay policies specifically include protections for pregnancy, and its salary grade structure is especially strong at the point of hire, ensuring that its pay practices are competitive and gender neutral.
Last year, ESPN further strengthened its pay practices by weaving them into a diversity scorecard for managers that provides a current view of the status of women in terms of new hires, promotions, and retention. It also bans retaliation against employees reporting pay inequities or registering internal complaints.
