PAR FINDINGS<br />
The PAR Initiative actively monitors the use of policies<br />
and practices in the cable and telecommunications<br />
industry that support Pay equity, Advancement opportunities,<br />
and Resources for work/life integration.<br />
PAY EQUITY<br />
In 2017, 73% of participating organizations reported that gender pay equity<br />
is a core part of their organization’s compensation philosophy and strategy<br />
(see Figure 21). Moreover, 60% conduct pay equity analyses for women at least<br />
annually. The percent of MSOs and programmers conducting pay equity analyses<br />
for women is 100% and 46%, respectively. For organizations that conduct pay<br />
equity analyses, 45% use an approach that relies on a robust statistical approach,<br />
such as multiple regression. These figures are 33% and 64% for MSOs and programmers,<br />
respectively. Less than half (45%) of participating organizations have a formalized<br />
remediation process to address pay equity risks, although MSOs (83%) are more likely<br />
to than programmers (31%). Mercer’s When Women Thrive research shows that having<br />
a process for analyzing pay equity is a driver of gender equity. For greatest impact, these<br />
processes should rely on statistical analysis, clearly identify process owners, and include formal<br />
remediation protocols. 18<br />
ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES<br />
Seventy-one percent of organizations routinely check for and act to close gender and race/<br />
ethnicity gaps in promotion rates (see Figure 22). Moreover, 58% of participating organizations<br />
report that they have targeted leadership development opportunities that are designed<br />
