EOWA will be introducing several new initiatives throughout 2005 including this new e-publication, EOWA News Alert, which replaces our previous eActionNews.

Upcoming issues will include: mature-aged employees, staff retention and paid maternity leave.

In this Issue:
New Research - EOWA Industry Verticals
New Publications - EOWA Leading Edge Initiatives
EOWA Pay Equity Tool

New Research - EOWA Industry Verticals

A new series of research publications, EOWA Industry Verticals, will be released throughout 2005 and will present EO issues and statistics by industry.

EOWA Pay Equity Tool

EOWA’s Pay Equity Tool was launched in April and is now available on the EOWA website. This tool, which was developed in consultation with business, provides information about pay equity and includes a 7 step methodology to identify whether your business has a pay equity problem. It also offers ideas and solutions to address pay equity issues. Benefits for business addressing these issues include fairer and more equitable pay structures, improved staff retention and reduced risk of legal action.
