Equal Pay Every Day: An Employer Roundtable Series
Let's Talk about Fair Pay
Pay inequality thrives on silence—among legislators, leaders and even the employees most directly affected by it, who often have good reason for caution. That’s why AAUW, a leader in the fight for fair pay, recently convened webinars to create safe opportunities for all of us to start talking. The three-part series, titled “Equal Pay Every Day,” was designed to get employees, managers and senior leaders engaged in productive, solutions-focused conversations about pay equity.
