Women at Novo Nordisk now earn more than men, a notable shift attributed to frequent salary adjustments within the pharmaceutical company. This information comes from an analysis conducted by Deloitte, which examined the wage gap in 21 of the 25 companies listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange’s C25 index.
The wage difference at Novo Nordisk is now three percent in favor of women, after analysis across job levels, titles, and locations. This contrasts sharply with the national average in Denmark, where women typically earn 12.3 percent less than men.
Novo Nordisk reviews salaries every three months to identify and correct discrepancies, guaranteeing fair compensation for employees with similar roles and responsibilities, irrespective of their background, salary history, or ethnicity.
