Hidden Pay Bias

The new U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEO) deadlines are rapidly approaching. By September 30, 2019, companies with 100 or more employees will be required to include new information from employees’ W-2 forms. For the first time, gender, race, and ethnicity data must be reported alongside pay and hours information. How can you ensure your organization is following sound pay equity practices? To answer that question, you must also understand how pay equity is defined in today’s business landscape.

This webinar, led by Buck’s Amy Heinze and Donna Westervelt, will simplify pay equity by discussing fair pay principles in terms that are accessible and tangible to all HR and business professionals. The presenters will provide actionable tips for identifying and overcoming hidden pay bias. Additionally, they’ll walk you through effective practices for developing a defensible approach to pay equity by covering the following key topics:

  • Key factors for understanding pay equity in modern business

  • How to take a detective’s approach to uncovering clues of pay bias

  • Methods for combating any pay biases you discover
