What it measures
This score is a way to measure the proportion of women in the top earning positions of your company. This helps you see how diverse are your highest impact roles (often the highest paid ones), as well as a good way to identify any potential bias in your way to determine compensation for those top roles.
This is especially important as it's been proven that:
Negociation has a major (negative) impact on pay equality.
There is often more room for negociation for top roles in a company.
Methodology
This score is super simple to calculate:
We compute the % of women amongst your top 10% highest paying roles (in Total cash, not only base salary)
For each % point of women in those 10%, 2% is added to your Top Earners Score
So all in all, a 100% Top earners score is attainable only if your company has at least 50% of women amongst your the top 10% earners.
Example
Company X has 27% of women amongst the top 10% earners of its company, therefore gets a 54% Top earners score.
Company Y has 64% of women amongst the top 10% earners of its company, therefore gets a 100% Top earners Score.
