Some facts about male and female pay....

Did you know:
  • Women managers earn about £13,500 less a year than the average male manager.
  • It will take 187 years for women to earn more at the current rate of change. 
  • Women directors earn nearly a quarter less on average than men. 
  • Women at director level are more likely to accept the original salary offer whereas men will negotiate. 
  • Women managers usually get half the annual bonus that men receive - and it's true in almost every country in the world!

It makes for interesting reading - seems that we have got a long way to go to reach genuine equality in the workplace. What do you think?
