SUMMARY:Bridge the Wage Gap & Shatter the Ceiling: Achieving Pay Equity Through Inclusive Employee Benefits
DESCRIPTION:The widening wage gap for women of color during the pandemic overshadows progress for women in the workplace. According to LeanIn’s 2021 study\, Black women are paid 42% less than white men and 21% less than white women\, while Latinas earn 49 cents for every dollar a white man makes. However\, the pay gap for women of color did not start with the global pandemic. \nTo practice pay equity\, executives and HR leaders need to understand why pay inequality is systemic for underrepresented groups in the US. This session will cover a brief history of pay inequity for women and people of color and how HR teams can implement equitable compensation practices such as salary transparency and inclusive benefits to attract and retain top talent.

SUMMARY:Hiring for Potential: Rethinking What Qualified Candidates Look Like
DESCRIPTION:Are you struggling to find exceptional talent to fill key roles? You’re not alone. Today there are more job openings than workers to fill them\, and the battle for qualified talent will only continue to intensify. Traditionally\, employers have made hiring decisions based almost exclusively on the required skills of the role while seeking candidates whose experience matches their wish list of ideal traits. But that simply won’t be enough any longer. Organizations need to start hiring candidates with an eye to the future; not only who will be productive and engaged from day one\, but also who will stay in the position long-term\, be able to adapt to change and unexpected challenges\, and who can grow into new and different positions to help the organization thrive. Hiring is more challenging now than ever\, so how can companies ensure they’re hiring the professionals they need now and those they can count on in the future? The answer: hiring candidates with upskill potential. \nJoin Eric Sydell\, PhD.\, EVP of Innovation at Modern Hire\, to discuss: \n\nWhat’s behind the current workforce shortage\,\nWhat “potential” means in the workplace and the predictive science behind it\,\nThe tools that exist to help businesses identify upskill potential\, and\nThe best practices to reduce bias and focus on the candidates most likely to succeed\, regardless of their background Don’t miss your opportunity to learn how to find your most diverse\, engaged\, productive\, and future-focused workforce. You will walk away from this session with actionable tips to better insulate yourself against the ongoing effects of a labor shortage.

SUMMARY:Building Fair Chance Hiring into Your Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, over 600\,000 people leave state and federal prisons to return to their communities and the workforce. In spite of having done their time and putting in the effort to be a positive benefactor to society\, so many face formidable challenges as they navigate the rebuilding of their lives. \nWhen someone has a conviction history\, their job application is met with greater scrutiny and bias. They’re less likely to have employment. Lacking employment\, they can be pushed to commit or recommit offenses out of necessity or stress. But having a criminal record presents a unique challenge where they are often immediately ruled out for job opportunities even if they are qualified because of their criminal record. \nJoin Circa & Checkr as we go over what fair chance hiring is and the benefits that it can provide for your organization and society. Evaluating your own hiring practices for fairness is critical and building out your own fair chance hiring plan can open new and valuable talent pools as well as improve workplace culture to ensure qualified candidates are not being passed up. \nDiscussion Topics \n\nBenefits of fair chance hiring\nBuilding fair chance hiring into your talent acquisition process\nConnecting with local partners to find fair chance talent\nTips to creating a company culture that supports fair chance hiring\nLive Q&A

SUMMARY:Pay Equity in 2022: ESG Reporting\, State Requirements\, & Proactive Analytics
DESCRIPTION:Pay Equity in 2022: ESG Reporting\, State Requirements\, & Proactive Analytics\nSeptember 22\, 2022 – 9:00AM PT | 10:00AM MT | 11:00AM CT | 12:00PM ET\n\nPay equity will continue to be a primary focus for organizations in 2022. As the landscape evolves to include ESG reporting\, state requirements\, and continued proactivity\, it can be difficult for organizations to keep up and manage priorities. Join DCI consultants as they dive into these timely topics. \nEnvironmental\, social\, and governance data\, known as ESG\, is encouraging transparency in organizations. The social and governance aspects include areas relevant to HR\, DEIA\, and company leaders. Are you prepared to run pay equity analyses\, racial equity audits\, diversity metrics\, or publicly disclose? \nState pay requirements are increasing. While federal regulation still applies\, employers may now be required to perform additional analytics across their different states. We will discuss upcoming regulations\, priorities for employers\, and tips for keeping organized amidst ever-changing laws. \nProactive pay analyses continue to be a powerful tool for employers to understand their risk and pay disparities. DCI consultants will discuss different types of pay equity studies and tips for successfully navigating them.
