This breakout session from the Women Business Collaborative Summit 2021, will be an engaging conversation on pay equity and other measures of equity important to retaining talent in this hot market, reducing risks, and improving business profits and culture. Join us to hear the latest trends, best practices, and lessons learned when companies measure and act on pay data and show a commitment to building an equitable workforce. Panelists will include Marie Konstance, Project Lead for the Gender and Diversity KPI Alliance, Noreen Farrell the Executive Director of Equal Rights Advocates, a legal non-profit advocating for women and girls at work and school, and Stephanie Gore, a Transformation Director with KPMG who will give us a case study in driving change through measurement.

Join us to learn more about best practices for approaching correcting pay inequities uncovered by a pay audit and about best practices for approaching these decisions. We will get an in-depth perspective from Shalin Kothari, Vice President, Rewards Solutions at Schneider Electric, which has a robust and longstanding pay equity practice. We will also hear from Professor Margret Bjarnadottir, who founded PayAnalytics, a company that provides pay equity software and consulting, and who has published insightful articles on this topic. Also sharing her perspectives will be Henrike von Platen, CEO and Founder of The Fair Pay Innovation Lab (FPI), and Gender and Diversity KPI Alliance Steering Committee Member. The FPI is a nonprofit which ensures best practice exchange, shows companies how to implement a pay system that is fair for all employees, and awards them the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK.

The first step to ensure equity and diversity in an organization is measurement, but this can be challenging, and even more so in a global context. What are the appropriate numbers to measure? How do you define and measure diversity, as many countries have laws or restrictions on data collection? Join us to learn how to structure an approach that leads to a fairer and more equitable environment for all employees. We will explore what companies are measuring and the regulatory landscape. We’ll also highlight a highly successful approach from a multinational accounting firm. Our panelists include Marie Konstance, project lead for the Gender and Diversity KPI Alliance (GDKA), who will discuss how corporations are measuring pay and representation in their talent pipeline. Allyson Zimmermann, Executive Director for Catalyst’s operations in EMEA, and Emma Codd, Global Inclusion Leader for Deloitte, will also share insights on Deloitte’s approach to measurement, which worked to ensure fairness but was cognizant of local regulations across EMEA and respectful of employees’ concerns for privacy.

We invite you to participate in the International Pay Transparency Conference hosted by the Fair Pay Innovation Lab with the Equal Pay International Coalition, and with the support of the Berlin office of the International Labour Organization. They will host a panel discussion to be moderated by Manuela Tomei, Director Conditions of Work and Employment Programme, International Labour Organisation (ILO), with panelists: Marie Konstance,  Manager, Gender and Diversity KPI Alliance Harry Kyriazis, Chairman of the Social Affairs Committee, Business Europe Esther Lynch, Deputy General Secretary, European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) Katharina Miller, President, European Women Lawyer Association

To make progress, diversity needs to be measured. In this session, we’ll hear from Catalyst, Stephanie Roldan, Director of Lean Culture with Rosendin, and Michele Matthai, Director – Culture of Inclusion & Diversity, at Rockwell Automation on setting diversity, equity, and inclusion business objectives.

Measurement is a pilar in implementing a D&I effort. Proper metrics are needed to assess impact or to share progress with staff, stakeholders, and potential employees. However, while measurement is a key step, companies also need to create inclusive environments and to drive accountability throughout their organizations. Join us for an inciteful discussion on these topics hosted by Diversity Network. This panel is moderated by Georgina Wilczek – Director of Diversity Network, and the panelists include Marie Konstance, Consulting Project Lead for the GDKA, Paul Deemer, Head of Diversity & Inclusion, NHS Employers, and Emma Dickson, Technical Director, Arcadis, and Skills Chair, Construction Scotland.
