At empowerHERcareer (https://www.empowerhercareer.com), we prioritize delivering content that is not only inspiring but rigorously accurate. Our Fast-Check Policy ensures every article, guide, and resource meets strict standards of credibility, empowering women to make informed career decisions with confidence.
Our Fact-Checking Standards
1. Source Integrity
We rely on:
- Peer-reviewed studies (e.g., McKinsey’s Women in the Workplace reports).
- Government data (e.g., U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, EU Gender Equality Index).
- Interviews with certified career coaches, HR leaders, and industry experts.
- Reputable organizations like Lean In, Catalyst, or Harvard Business Review.
All sources are linked or cited for transparency.
2. Verification Process
- Claims & Data: Salary gaps, promotion rates, or workplace trends are cross-checked against at least three independent sources.
- Quotes & Anecdotes: Direct quotes from experts or interviewees are validated via recordings or written confirmations.
- Legal & Compliance: Content referencing laws (e.g., Equal Pay Act, parental leave policies) is verified against official government portals.
3. Expert Review
Specialized topics—like negotiating salaries, navigating workplace discrimination, or career pivots—are reviewed by:
- HR professionals with 10+ years of experience.
- DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) consultants.
- Women-led career advocacy groups.
Corrections & Accountability
- Errors: If we miss the mark, corrections are made within 24 hours of notification. Updates include a dated note (e.g., “Updated on [Date] to clarify remote work statistics”).
- Bias Checks: Content is screened for unconscious gender or cultural bias using tools like Gender Decoder for Job Ads.
Independence Promise
- No advertiser, sponsor, or affiliate partner influences our fact-checking process.
- Sponsored content is labeled clearly and never prioritized over editorial integrity.
