EDUCATION SESSION #1067
Gender Pay Equality: Legislation, Transparency and Culture
Recent legislation and civil activism have led to changes at businesses to address gender balance in the workforce and equal pay. Following an overview of legislative approaches to reduce the gender pay gap, learn about practices that have been implemented at firms in France and the UK. Some observers question how effective these legal measures will be in addressing the issue of compensation.

Hear strategies you can use to help overcome some of the structural and societal biases you may encounter in the office and the industry. Learn some concrete steps that can be taken, drawing upon examples from the private sector and the financial services industry. Consider that information and transparency in cultural change may help ensure that these changes become both meaningful and permanent.

Share your views with colleagues as you network over drinks and hors d’oeuvres following the panel discussion.
