2019 Total Rewards Conference - Day 2

Closing the Gap: The Road to Pay Equity for Your Organization​
11:00am - 12:00pm

Gender pay is the subject of dinner-table and watercooler discussions, political debate and legislative efforts, and it has significant legal and talent-management implications at all levels within organizations. Hear a panel of employment law and compensation experts present case studies of their recent work with companies. They have taken different approaches to understanding their position relative to gender-pay equity and the larger gender pay gap. Learn important terms and definitions, how companies have mitigated problems, what's next on the legislative horizon, and the broad legal issues presented when companies dig deeper into their standing on gender-based pay.
