There's a call on International Women's Day for long-awaited laws on Ireland's gender pay gap to be prioritised.
CIPD Ireland's making the call on the next Government, as new figures show a slow pace of change on the issue in Irish workplaces.
Research by CIPD Ireland in conjunction with the Kemmy Business School in Limerick shows half of workplaces in Ireland believe they have no Gender Pay Gap.
However, just a third say they're actually investigating whether they have one and are calculating its extent.
Businesses were also surveyed about 9 ways in which they could act to address their Gender Pay Gap.
These include increasing workplace flexibility, implementing career coaching and mentoring for women, and producing an annual report to monitor it.
CIPD Ireland believes it's concerning that 37% of those surveyed aren't engaging in, or even planning to engage in any of the 9 recommendations.
