Income inequality remains a troubling issue, despite years of progressive and proactive approaches and legislation. All too often, workers of one particular group (usually women or people of color) are systematically underpaid across an organization. The remedy for such pay gaps is often to focus on those workers who are most underpaid. In this talk we will explain why this approach falls short, and point to better ways to correct the pay structure, close pay gaps and address systematic biases.

Key Takeaways: 

• A clear understanding of the differences between the unadjusted and adjusted pay gap
• How to understand the root sources of the adjusted pay gap.
• How to address systematic pay biases and close pay gaps
