RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PACIFIC PAY GAP INQUIRY 

Frieda Crawford – Executive Officer (middle) with Amy Dove and Lisa Tai, Partners from Deloitte

Frieda with Natalia Fareti – Board Member

As part of its Pacific Pay Gap Inquiry, the Human Rights Commission instigated a ground-breaking piece of work, surveying employers about the monitoring of ethnic pay gaps, good workplace diversity and inclusion practices and any ideas they may have about how to close the gap. 


Earlier this month, the Human Rights Commission handed to Government its findings and recommendations. Entitled “Voices of Pacific people: eliminating pay gaps”, the report sheds light on the lived experiences of Pacific workers while also exploring what government, employers and unions need to do to urgently address pay inequity.
