"First Partner of California Jennifer Siebel Newsom unveiled a six-step playbook to help guide companies that are hoping to eliminate their internal gender wage gap. In a further boost to gender equality, she revealed that the list of organizations committing to the California Equal Pay Pledge has grown to over 200 organizations—more than double the number from 2023. Together, these efforts underscore a significant drive to reduce California’s wage gap that costs the state’s women an estimated $87 billion annually. “We're trying to turn the California pay gap into the smallest pay gap in the nation,” Siebel Newsom told me at Yahoo’s MAKERS Conference last month. California currently ranks eleventh in the nation when it comes to eliminating the pay gap. Women in the state earn only 81 cents for every dollar earned by a man, and women of color do significantly worse. Latinas earn 44 cents for every dollar white men earn, and Black women earn only 58 cents." https://lnkd.in/gf9cXxte

"A degree of flexibility is table stakes for employers that want to recruit and retain women today, experts say—but that’s far from all they need to do. Among the other top 10 family-friendly benefits that Best Place for Working Parents® companies deploy are parental leave, benefits for nursing parents and back-up childcare. While just 11% have an on-site childcare facility, this is a benefit the organization expects to see grow among employers on the leading edge. Since 2019, the number of surveyed organizations that offer on-site childcare has grown 47%—and they have a retention rate that is 7.4 times that of those without childcare facilities. “We anticipate that policies, perks and benefits being implemented today are here to stay, as these have been proven to yield economic benefits for companies,” Funk says. Family-friendly benefits were a key factor in Progyny’s ability to grow its headcount by more than 40% over the last year, says Pratt." https://lnkd.in/g2xC7vZ7
