Who needs Equal-Salary Certification?

Any organisation seeking objective, independent confirmation of its commitment to equal pay can benefit from Equal-Salary Certification The process is the same, whatever the size of the organisation or the industry it operates in. The price depends on the size and complexity of the organisation that’s being certified, not on the quality or level of certification granted. This is always the same, whether you’re a small local business or a large multinational operating in many territories around the world.

How is Equal-Salary Certification different from the labels offered by other providers?

Equal-Salary Certification is narrower in scope than the benchmarks offered by other providers – which is an advantage because it sends out a much clearer message. In fact Equal-Salary Certification isn’t even a benchmark: rather than ranking a candidate in comparison with its peers, certification confirms that a company meets an absolute, very high standard of pay equality.

Equal-Salary Certification focuses on a clearly defined parameter using a highly objective and rigorous process. This means the result is not diluted: you either have it or you don’t. Equal-Salary Certification puts you in the elite of pay equality – no ifs or buts.

Are we too small for certification?

The Equal-Salary Certification process can basically be applied to organisations of any size, from small local operation to large multinational. It’s true that a rigorous certification process comes at a cost, but the cost depends on the size and complexity of your set-up rather than the ‘grade’ of certification you’re granted – which is the same, whatever your size or wherever in the world you operate.

Anyone with Equal-Salary Certification, whatever their size, is part of the elite of equal pay organisations. And that earns them a reputation for high ethical standards that will attract the best customers, employees and investors.

What does Equal-Salary Certification cost?

The price of Equal-Salary Certification is scaled to the size and complexity of the candidate’s set-up, not to the ‘grade’ of certification awarded. Whatever your size, Equal-Salary Certification demonstrates that you meet the same high standards of pay equality as any other organisation with the certification.

Naturally such a rigorous, multi-tier process has a price – admittedly higher than many of the relative equality benchmarks in the marketplace. But more and more companies are realising that certification is worth paying for because it’s independent recognition that you meet a fixed global standard of equal pay – if you like, the gold standard of equality.
