More needs to be done to make sure men and women are paid the same, a Jersey businessman has said.
A government report from March found that the gender pay gap in Jersey stood at 6.3%, with men earning on average about £2 more than women an hour.
Men were invited to "unite" with women at a roundtable discussion on how to tackle the issue.
Attendee Ian Webb said it was good to have discussions and that action was needed.
He said: "It is a problem males and females share, it is not just a woman problem.
"There's a lot more that needs to be done and we need to have some more actions come out of these discussions, but it's good to at least share some of the problems and get them vocalised."
Mr Webb said it was a shock to realise the pay gap was still an issue.
"It was a real eye-opener for me to listen and I think that's one of the keys being an ally is you do have to listen and listen to some of the issues that women do have still," he said.
