In Google «salaries are proposed by an algorithm» to avoid wage gap



In any selection process there must be a woman interviewing and parity at the level of candidates interviewed



The general director of Google for Spain and Portugal, Fuencisla Clemares, has revealed that in Google, as a good technological company, "salaries are proposed by an algorithm" to avoid salary discrimination in the workforce by gender. "Each boss receives the proposal of wage increase and salary of his employees based on an algorithm where the sex of the person is not part of the data given to the algorithm and where what is considered is what position has, what level , what has been its evaluation, what objectives it had and what it has achieved and is the algorithm itself proposes the rise and salary scheme of each employee every year, "he explained.

In addition, detailed Clemares during an informative breakfast in Madrid, collect groups and analyze whether this wage difference is actually occurring by gender or not, although he has specified that in the analyzes they have done, they have not detected that difference. "If it did arise, what should be done is to deepen and understand why it is happening," he added.

He also pointed out that in any selection process there must be a woman interviewing and parity at the level of candidates interviewed. "And if you do not find women, you look for them, and when you search, you end up finding them," he stressed.

At the promotion level, he said, the promotion ratios are checked to see if they are fair or not and if they are not, analyze what happens. "You have to make a plan and be on top to make sure that there is no discrimination," added Clemares, who said that Google is "100 percent convinced that there should be no salary gap" and work to make it so.

Far is left when one stepped on Paris or Berlin and looked for places to connect to the wifi to share with friends the photos of the trip. It has been a year since the technology frontiers in Europe have fallen and now any citizen can use the mobile networks of any country in the Old Continent - including Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway - at no extra cost. Goodbye surprises at the time of arrival of the days of rest for an excess in the bill of the mobile. A measure that, with the value of technology today, has been almost as important as the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which gave the green light to the free movement of people in the Schengen area. Like any rule, it had a small print that it still maintains . On the ...

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like

Keys to the new government tax that big technology does not like It is still unknown how much will be collected but the law will be processed "imminently", although some multinationals have already complained Amazon, Facebook, Google or Twitter have in common that their fundamental business is based on the sale of advertising 'online', in the intermediary activities of digital platforms or in the commercialization of data that is generated with information provided with the user. Therefore, these companies -among others- will pay in Spain the new tax on technological platforms promoted by the Montero cabinet. These are the three assumptions that the finance minister detailed as the bases on which the "imminent" rate for digital services would be based. Although he placed special emphasis on his first appearance before the Finance Committee in Congress where this newly created tax "will not affect SMEs or medium-sized companies", the...
