What are some of your top tips/best practices when it comes to creating a new campaign strategy for an HRTech tool?

What are your thoughts on gender disparity and pay issues in the typical B2B/Tech marketplace?
“Unfortunately, despite all the efforts in the last 10 years, there is still a gender pay gap. Looking at Transformify stats worldwide, I would say that the gap is much wider in some countries due to the traditions and status quo. Often, women don’t feel confident enough to even ask for a pay rise. It will take more time to enforce legislation requiring employers to close the gender pay gap and offer the same pay rate to people having equal skills and experience.”
