One Silicon Valley HR leader's take on the pay equity problem

Acknowledging the presence of a gender pay gap in your workforce is just the beginning of solving the problem, Zenefits Chief People Officer Beth Steinberg told HR Dive in an interview on April 10, observed as Equal Pay Day by businesses and organizations in the U.S. Steinberg said that buy-in from executive leadership is key to successfully combating pay inequities in the workplace, pointing to her own past experiences as well as the example set by CEOs like Salesforce's Marc Benioff. Steinberg added that access to correct data often proves to be an obstacle for organizations struggling to recognize and correct the problem.
