Get Proactive about Fair Pay
Your employees expect—and deserve—fair treatment and fair pay. A commitment to equitable pay can build employee trust and motivate and engage your workforce.
For US federal contractors, pay equity analyses are required by the OFCCP and EEOC. Regulations, such as the Equality Act, require employers in the UK to publish gender pay gap metrics annually. For any employer, a proactive compensation analysis can guard against reputational risks and bolster your employer brand—making you an employer of choice in your market.
Affirmity offers expert consulting services to help employers identify—and correct—potential patterns of disparity and adverse impact so you can bring your pay equity strategy to life.

“We worked with Affirmity's leading PhD Consultant, Chuck McGhee, to conduct an OFCCP-style compensation study. Chuck was instrumental in identifying potential risk areas and worked with us to develop a defensible plan in preparation for an audit. He's very responsive and can talk the 'data' to our level of understanding. He was great to work with.”
