On Wednesday, May 15th Cpl and the HBA hosted an event on the 'Gender Pay Gap: What's Happened and What's Coming Next?' at The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin.
It's been well reported that it could take over 200 years to close the gender pay gap. In fact, Ireland's pay gap has actually increased in recent years.
At the event, MinisterDavid Stantonspoke about the progress that has been made with gender pay gap reporting legislation.Siobhan O'Shea,Diversity and Inclusion lead at Cpl, then advised on battling your own pay gap and negotiating your next pay rise - including striking statistics such as
