Build defensible pay equity practices that reduce risk and ensure compliance.
Pay equity isn't going away, and neither is the legal obligation to get it right. While federal DEI policy pulls back, pressure from other directions is intensifying. More than a dozen states now require salary disclosures in job postings, the EU Pay Transparency Directive hits its June 2026 implementation deadline, and the Equal Pay Act and Title VII remain fully in force. In a more contested environment, defensible compensation practices matter more than ever. This course unpacks what the current federal posture actually means for employer obligations, how state and global mandates are raising the stakes, and how to conduct a statistically robust, legally neutral pay equity analysis that holds up regardless of the political climate. We'll also tackle a challenge many practitioners face right now: how to make the internal case for this work when DEI language may no longer be welcome in the room. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for building a compliant, sustainable approach to pay equity: one that reduces legal risk, supports talent retention, and can withstand scrutiny from any direction.
