Get Proactive About Fair Pay
Your employees expect—and deserve—fair treatment and fair pay. A commitment to equitable pay can build employee trust, increasing workforce motivation and engagement.
Proactive pay equity analyses defend U.S. employers against potential lawsuits filed by the EEOC, while ensuring compliance with an evolving set of state-level pay reporting requirements.
Global organizations must additionally factor in a wider international trend towards pay equity and transparency. For example, the EU’s Pay Transparency Directive compels many EU countries to implement pay transparency, but subtly different implementations of these requirements are emerging. Add regulations from other jurisdictions, such as the UK’s Equality Act, and you have a complex compliance picture for multinational businesses to navigate.
Wherever you operate, a proactive compensation analysis can guard against reputational risks and bolster your brand—making you an employer of choice in your market.
Affirmity offers expert consulting services to help employers identify—and correct—potential patterns of disparity and adverse impact so you can bring your pay equity strategy to life.

“We worked with Affirmity's leading PhD Consultant, Chuck McGhee, to conduct a compensation study. Chuck was instrumental in identifying potential risk areas and worked with us to develop a defensible plan in preparation for an audit. He's very responsive and can talk the 'data' to our level of understanding. He was great to work with.”
