Steps To Get Even

The heart of the Getting Even plan is this: persuading each and every CEO to close the wage gap within his or her organization. CEOs are the only ones who have the authority and power to ensure that all the women they employ are fairly paid.

Female employees must show their CEOs that they need to take action. Outside pressure will help make them want to take action. Without commitment from the top, nothing will change.

So how can you convince your employer—and U.S. employers as a whole—to close the gender wage gap, once and for all? You must make sure that you and your co-workers are paid fairly. That’s all. Document. Research. Ask for fair pay. Collaborate. And, hopefully, celebrate!
