Why?
You need a good understanding of the method and the four factors to avoid gender bias.
How?
- Schedule some time to learn about the graduated factor method.
- Review the four factors, skills, responsibility, effort and working conditions, and their subfactors.
- Think about what the factors and subfactors mean in the context of your organisation.
- Go through simple examples (e.g. skills = knowledge needed; effort = physical or emotional energy required).
- Use the case study on Neighbourhood Bakery (a micro-organisation) to understand concepts and get inspired by real-life examples.
