Thank you very much.
In 2015, we introduced the lift to base. It was a correction. It does help to create a narrowing of the gap—by 2%, in our case.
What we're looking for is the long-term fitness of the university system. To do that, we all have to be more attentive to professional development around career progression and more attentive to our actions, our words and our practices in the hiring and decisions around salary placement at the beginning of a career for an academic. We need to be investing in flexibility in workplace arrangements and the access to child care services.
The solutions are multi-faceted. We can create the interventions—they help us to have a close—but really we need fitness of system over the long term.
