Judges’ comments<\/h4>\n

We thought this entry was an excellent use of plain, direct language, backed up by an engaging design.<\/p>\n

We liked the simple structure, with seven action points, each explained with a heading that starts with an imperative, a quote to make it real, and practical ideas clearly stated.<\/p>\n

Media statement<\/h4>\n

The Ministry for Women is thrilled that our booklet Closing the gender pay gap \u2014 actions for employers<\/em> became a finalist in the Best Document \u2014 Public category at the Plain English Awards. We are also thrilled that we were a finalist in the Best Sentence Transformation category.<\/p>\n

\u2018The gender pay gap, its causes, and solutions to close it are complex,\u2019 says Renee Graham, Ministry for Women Chief Executive. \u2018However, it\u2019s important that all employers and employees are able to have access to information that helps them identify if their organisations have a gap and how to tackle it.<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s why we\u2019ve placed such an emphasis on ensuring that our material is evidence-based, and easy to read and understand.<\/p>\n

\u2018Being judged a finalist in this category confirms that our approach to making language clear and concise has paid off. I\u2019d like to congratulate all the team at the Ministry who worked on these documents.\u2019<\/p>\n

The booklets are both available on the Ministry\u2019s website www.women.govt.nz<\/a>.<\/p>\n
