Tara O’Sullivan, CMO with Immedis will be leading this session – which includes a short presentation and a panel discussion. The main factors that we will be covering are: – The reality about where we are on gender and age pay gaps – The importance of ethnicity when talking about D,I & B – Using data to impact the pay gap – The value of gender and age diversification – COVID setback for women, how do we reverse it – How do we ensure our D,I,&B program is heard and felt when people are working from anywhere or remotely? We will be looking at some of the standard reports that companies are using, whether legally required to, or not, to demonstrate their journey to closing the pay gap, and impacting Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging.

Tara will be talking about age discrimination, gender discrimination and ethnic discrimination, and how the measurement of pay is central to get to true diversity, inclusion and belonging. In August 2020, the SEC included HCM as a separate disclosure topic, which means that any programs around comp and benefits, talent acquisition and especially governance. Businesses are developing policies to improve D+I in their organizations to improve their organization, as well as society as a whole. So, with the new SEC requirements, as well as other legal requirements coming in countries such as the UK and Spain – how can companies demonstrate their D&I initiatives, to their own employees, potential employees, customers, investors and external influencers. According to The World Economic Forum’s 2021 Global Gender Gap Report, as a result of the pandemic, the economic gender gap will now take 257 years to close. An addition of 55 years to the already eyepopping 202 years estimated in their 2019 Report.
