Wednesday Weigh-In: What do you want from an Equal Pay App?
Last week, the Obama Administration launched the Equal Pay App Challenge, inviting software developers to help women ensure that they’re being paid fairly.
I’m excited to see what developers come up with. In my mind, there are so many ways that technology could help women achieve pay equity. The app could publish a list of position levels and careers with average salary figures, for the sake of comparison. Or, it could offer tips for negotiating. What about a women’s “bill of rights” to use should an employer try to deny you your fair share? The possibilities seem pretty endless!
This week’s Wednesday Weigh-In focuses on technology and the pay gap. So weigh in!
How could an app help you personally, or someone you know, fight the pay gap? What do you hope to see from the winning app?
