Intentional Change: Pioneering Pay Equity
Online
AIA Chicago is proud to present a spectacular panel of leaders who champion for the equitable reimagining of our profession’s culture, policies, and practice in the area of compensation parity as it affects women and racial minorities. Data shows that firms who embrace compensation parity achieve greater financial stability, retention of talent, and firm growth. Join us to learn more about strategies to identify blind spots and what steps can be taken to improve the health of your work environment and firm.
From the topics we will address, attendees will be able to:
- Equip themselves with relevant and actionable information about pay inequity beyond salary negotiation
- Identify indicators of firm homogeny and inequity
- Explore the importance of creating an organized plan to address and prevent pay and promotion inequities
- Discover practical ways to effectively advocate for others
