Register

Please join us for an interactive panel discussion moderated by Simon Rodgers (One Young World, World Humanitarian Forum, and formerly Aviva) to celebrate Pride Month. Panelists include Leng Montgomery (TEDx Speaker, and formerly ASOS, BDO UK LLP, Cushman & Wakefield, Sainsbury’s, Stonewall), Carrie Reiners (Albert Kennedy Trust) Tash Thomas (EW Group, European Coworking Assembly) and Mark Forster (Crowell & Moring).


The panel will be discussing the importance of Allyship, both in and out of the workplace. Allyship is the concept of using one's own position of power, influence, or privilege to elevate and advocate for under-represented people. The support of allies has and continues to be crucial in advancing the LGBT+ movement, and in 2021 we must ask ourselves “How can I be an ally and what more can I do?”


The webinar will be a panel based discussion followed by a Q&A session.


Speakers:

  • Leng Montgomery, D&I Specialist, TEDx 
  • Carrie Reiners, Deputy CEO, Albert Kennedy Trust

A Deep Dive into the EU Pay Transparency Directive and the US Experience on Equal Pay 

In Collaboration with the IBJDuring this webinar we will dive into the European Directive on pay transparency that entered into force in June 2024 and has to be transposed for June 2026 in all EU Member States. This European Directive has the ambition to strengthen the application of the principle of equal pay for equal work or work of equal value between men and women, for all employees in all sectors. The Directive brings significant new reporting obligations and assessment obligations on employers that the EU Member States will publish. How will you have to calculate the threshold to know if your company as an employer falls under the scope of the Directive? And what happens when there is a gap in the equal pay? What will you have to do as an employer? What kind of enforcement does the Directive foresee? Lastly, did you know that in the US there is an Equal Pay Act that has been in force since 1963? How has that statute been applied in the US and what are the differences and similarities with the European Directive? Our special US guest will teach us some interesting US-insights.  ...
