  • THE GENDER PAY GAP: Myth Vs
    THE GENDER PAY GAP: Myth vs. Reality… And What Can Be Done About It BY BEN FROST KORN FERRY HAY GROUP hat makes the gender pay Wissue a board-level concern? In a word, profitability. According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics’ recent study of 21,980 companies in 91 countries, the presence of more female leaders in top positions of corporate management cor- relates with increased profitability. The gender pay gap has become a rallying cry among shareholder groups, in the media and also as a much-talked-about issue during the US presidential election season. According to one widely quoted statistic from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR): “In 2015, female full-time workers made only 79 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 21 percent.” That quote has been repeated, reprinted and retweeted countless times, but how accurate is it? While there is some consensus that a gender pay gap exists, what is it really? Equally important, what are the causes, and what can organi- zations to do to ensure that individuals are paid what they are worth, regardless of gender? AN APPLES-TO-APPLES COMPARISON Korn Ferry Hay Group set out to create a more accurate view of what the gender pay gap actually is. We had one advantage at the outset, one lacking in other analyses: We were able to control for job level— the biggest driver of pay. Our pay database holds compensation data for more than 20 million employees in more than 110 countries and 8 KEEP READING THE GENDER PAY GAP THE GENDER PAY GAP across 25,000 organizations, making it the largest and the most compre- hensive such database in the world.

  • Status and Impact of Brick Fields on the River Haora, West Tripura Shreya Bandyopadhyay, Kapil Ghosh, Sushmita Saha, Sumanto Chakravorti and Sunil Kumar De
    Trans. Inst. Indian Geographers Status and Impact of Brick Fields on the River Haora, West Tripura Shreya Bandyopadhyay, Kapil Ghosh, Sushmita Saha, Sumanto Chakravorti and Sunil Kumar De. Agartala, Tiripur Abstract The Sadar Subdivision as well as the Haora river Basin is the most economically developed region of West Tripura. Various small scale industries (84 numbers) have grown up in the basin among which brick industry has highest share. Most of the brickields are of recent origin. The SOI Topographical sheet of 1932 (1:63360) and US Army Sheet of 1956 (1:250,000) do not show the existence of any brickield. From Google Map of 2005, several ield visits (since January 2010) and secondary literatures it is found that 62 brick ields are located within the Sadar division of these 57 are located in Haora Basin between Chandrasadhubari at Champaknagar to Jirania towards Agartala. Although brick ields constitute a major part of the industrial activity in Haora Basin area, it adversely affects the portion of river channel as well as its tributaries. Most of the brick ields in the study area were constructed after 1990. Since then the river has been affected by increasing pollution and sedimentation. Dumping of ashes, extraction of sand from the river bed and bank, cutting of tilla lands (approx 15-20 trucks /year/ ield) hinder the natural low of the river. Therefore, the present study has been undertaken to assess the impact of these brick ields in terms of pollution, sedimentation and changing course of the river Haora as well as its tributaries. Key words: Tilla cutting, waste pollutants, sedimentation, changes in river course.

  • Sexual Harassment Quiz
    Sexual Harassment Quiz True or False 1. Sexual harassment complaints are generally false or unjustified. 2. Sexual harassment can occur outside the work site and still be considered work related. Incidents that occur at retirement parties and office socials or in training are some of the situations where work related harassment occurs. 3. Terms of endearment with co-workers, i.e. "honey," "dear" are considered verbal abuse and charges can be brought up against the employee. 4.

If he didn’t like the sexual attention, but she meant it only as flirting or joking, then it was not sexual harassment. 6. Sexual harrassment is not limited to physical contact.

Due to strict privacy laws, supervisors cannot monitor employee email or be found liable for sexual harassment via email by their employees. 8. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a women's issue. 9. Quid Pro Quo harassment is a form of sexual harassment when there is a request or demand of sexual favors in exchange for employment benefits or threatening reprisals if the favors are not given. 10. Friendly flirting is not sexual harassment when flirting is practiced between mutually consenting individuals who are equal in power or authority. 11. Employees claiming sexual harassment who are aware of but fail to take advantage of company policies or resources designed to prevent, correct or eliminate harassment have much weaker cases than those who do.
