Sticking to the rules, or even going a step further, can enhance your reputation with customers, employees (current and prospective), regulators and the public. Do your homework on gender equality and pay and you will not only save yourself a lot of trouble but also spot opportunities you did not know existed.
As an executive or HR manager running a business internationally – or planning to operate in other countries – it is crucial to know the laws and sanctions governing gender equality in the relevant territories.
