● Why remediation fails: misaligned spending, slow progress, and recurring disparities
● How simulation modeling and spend optimization can increase remediation impact
● Strategies to prevent new inequities with data-informed decision-making tools
Attendees will gain a practical framework for applying analytics, optimizing spend, and embedding accountability into ongoing pay equity efforts.
