Tracks: Women in Tech - Keynote, Women in Tech Breakout Session
Any type of inequality can negatively impact workplace productivity, employee engagement and access to critical talent. When it comes to pay equity, this inequality is painfully evident: women still earn — on average — 20% less than their male colleagues in nearly every single occupation. And equal pay is not strictly a workplace issue; research shows that equal pay would cut poverty among working women and their families by more than half and add $513 billion to the national economy. Compensation experts will discuss the data-based realities of pay disparity and employee engagement, offer tips on how women can develop an arsenal of pay negotiation strategies and convey the importance of financial wellness literacy.
