Actions identified to help close gender pay gap

The research is based on a survey of more than 22,000 working men and women in 34 countries – including more than 1,400 in the United States – to measure their perception of factors that contribute to their workplace cultures. The survey was supplemented with in-depth interviews and a detailed analysis of published data on a range of workforce issues.
"Our research shows that in companies with cultures that include the workplace factors that help women advance, men thrive too, and we all rise together," said Intira Laomeepol, Managing Director, Resource Operating Group, Accenture in Thailand. "We see this research as a powerful reminder that building a culture of equality is essential to achieving gender equality because people, not programs, are what make a company inclusive and diverse."
Accenture's research found that in companies where the 40 factors are most common, everyone benefits: 
98 per cent of employees are satisfied with their career progression
90 per cent of employees aspire to get promoted
89 per cent aspire to become senior leaders in their organisations
