Our in-depth research shows that companies that excel in pay equity have higher profitability, greater customer satisfaction, innovate better, and win the war for talent,” says Kathi Enderes, Senior Vice President Research and Global Industry Analyst at The Josh Bersin Company. “Done right, pay equity is not a once-a-year-project but a way to run the company for equity.

Additionally, the company’s headquarters in Iceland places them strategically with a global perspective, straddling both the EU and the US.
