Many organizations talk about pay transparency and pay equity, yet still struggle to move from intention to action.
This interactive webinar takes a practical, experience driven approach to pay transparency and pay equity by examining the assumptions and beliefs that most often influence decision making. Rather than theory or one size fits all answers, the session uses live polling, real world examples, and expert insight to explore how organizations actually approach transparency, assess equity risk, and communicate pay decisions.
Participants will explore common points of uncertainty around legal considerations, employee reactions, data readiness, and manager capability. Speakers will share what they have observed across organizations, where expectations often differ from reality, and how leaders can make thoughtful, defensible choices based on their organization’s context and maturity.
This session moves beyond awareness and into practical decision making, helping participants leave with clearer direction and realistic next steps.
Learning Outcomes
