HBO just completed a proactive effort to close its gender-pay gap. According to president of programming Casey Bloys, who recently spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, the Time’s Up movement—and, in particular, conversations with Big Little Lies star Reese Witherspoon—inspired the premium cable network to examine how it does business.

Bloys credited Witherspoon, a founding member of Time’s Up, with being “really at the forefront” of the movement and the conversations it’s inspired—both in Hollywood and at HBO specifically. As Bloys explained, “We just finished our process, where we went through and made sure that there were no inappropriate disparities in pay; and where there were, if we found any, we corrected it going forward. And that’s a direct result of the Time’s Up movement.”

The exec declined to offer examples of series that needed salary corrections, but did note that the effort was about people “getting what they deserve . . . I’m sure they were happy, but they also shouldn’t have to fight for it.”

As for how, exactly, the adjustments worked, Bloys was a little more willing to provide details. The process was not simply a matter of paying women and men identical salaries; instead, it was about looking for actors who, for example, had less experience when they signed on to a series, and therefore might not have been paid as much as the more seasoned co-stars. “When you’re putting a show together, people come in with different levels of experience, and maybe some people have won awards or something that makes them stand out,” Bloys said. “But when you get into season two or three of a show and the show is a success, it is much harder to justify paying people wildly disparate numbers, and that’s where you have to make sure that you’re looking at the numbers—that they don’t end up just on the path they were on from the pilot stage. So, the thing that has been interesting about the whole movement is that it really is reminding everybody to do what’s right, and I think it’s re-training all of our thinking.”
