What do people remember most in uncertain times?

Not what you promised. But what you actually did.

From inflation to conflict, AI disruption to declining workforce participation—uncertainty is everywhere.

And when the world feels unstable, people start looking to leaders for more than profits.

They want clarity, fairness, and trust.

That’s why I believe closing the gender pay gap is not just a fairness issue—it’s a strategic trust issue.

Here’s what the research—and my own advisory experience—has shown:

🔹 Companies that take meaningful action on pay equity are:

— More trusted by employees
— More attractive to customers & investors
— More resilient during crises and change

But the opposite is also true:

📉 When leadership teams ignore gender equity—or treat it like a side project—
you erode trust from the inside out.

📘 What’s Working Right Now?

In my whitepaper “Closing the Gender Pay Gap & Accelerating Women into Leadership”, I unpack what leading companies are doing differently, including:

✅ Elevating women into leadership roles at every level—not just one role at the top
✅ Tracking & tying executive accountability to gender metrics
✅ **Rethinking flexibility so it fuels—not stalls—career progression
✅ Addressing systemic blockers like discretionary bonuses and promotion bias

These aren’t theory.

They’re the same levers that helped us cut gender gaps to single digits—and earn AFR and WGEA recognition.

So let me ask you this:

In a time when trust is everything—what will your organisation be known for?
Intent? Or impact?
