NewstalkZB: Voluntary reporting is "starting to shift the dial" of the gender pay gap

The Government's ditching plans to make gender pay gap reporting compulsory.  

The Labour Government pledged it would require companies with more than 250 workers to publish a pay gap report. 

But acting Minister for Women Louise Upston's instead developing a tool for businesses to calculate pay gaps voluntarily. 

Mind the Gap Co-Founder Dellwyn Stuart told Mike Hosking that while mandatory reporting would likely make more of a difference, it's great to see the Government taking action.  

She says most businesses don't set out to pay people unfairly, they just don't see what's happening in their payroll until they measure it, and then they want to fix it.
