This weeks guest is Michelle Gyimah who is a pay gaps strategist and she specialises in supporting HR Directors to close their pay gaps in a sustainable way. A key aspect of her work with organisations is to provide training on how to hold better pay and progression conversations as a key tool to closing pay gaps. In this episode Michelle talks us through her passion to help her clients to get clear about what they need to do address pay gaps and why it is so important for leaders to be proactive about this. We also discuss the value of having ‘difficult conversations’ so that things can actually improve rather than be avoided. This way her clients can retain top female talent and create suitable strategies to embed pay transparency and aid career progression so that they can position themselves as an employer of choice in your sector. As the competition for top talent increases, the transparency and authenticity of organisations and their leaders, needs to improve in order to remain competitive. Michelle shares practical insights and draws on her own experience to share her wisdom and expertise AND if you want to find out more you can reach her at: 🎧 Better Money Conversations podcast 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/show/4uvjhfKp99WSOkUfS4qycnor email her at mgyimah@equalitypays.co.uk Podcast edited by Victoria Spooner
