Pay equity is a hot topic and there are several important aspects to consider when evaluating compensation parity at the executive level.

Despite comprising nearly 57% of the workforce, only 35% of women hold management positions.

The McKinsey Women in the Workplace 2023 report illustrates a significant increase in women’s representation in C-suite and senior vice president roles since 2015.

According to the 2024 Gender Pay Gap Report by Payscale, women earn 83 cents on the dollar compared to men, with executives facing an even wider gap at 72 cents.
