About this event

Join us for an engaging session delving into the critical themes of equity and transparency in pay. Our discussion traverses trends observed from the United States to the European Union and back, and explores the nuances of the EU Directive alongside the evolving landscape of laws in the United States. Additionally, we delve into the rising phenomenon of employee activism, examining its impact on shaping organizational policies and practices.

During the session, you, as the attendee, will have the opportunity to engage from dual perspectives:

As a Leader: Explore strategies for effectively articulating developments in pay equity and transparency to your team members, fostering an environment of trust and understanding.

As an Employee: Reflect on your personal stance regarding pay transparency and equity, empowering yourself to advocate for fairness and accountability within your workplace.

We dedicated ample time for open dialogue and questions, which encouraged a collaborative exploration of the topic. Together, we navigate the complexities of pay equity and transparency, empowering leaders and employees alike to “own their worth” in alignment with our theme for April.
