| Transparency laws have given way to more in-depth looks at salaries and hourly compensation—and some awkward conversations. Now that your employees have all this information about expected pay and average salaries they have questions. How do you talk to them about compensation and pay ranges accurately, fairly and with compassion? We'll also share ways to implement fair compensation so that you don't lose top talent, including awards, bonuses, role advancements and other options.

| Finding the right cast of players for your business requires consensus on the process, and this session will dive into ways to make the recruitment cycle more efficient, effective, and inclusionary. Attendees will learn ways to bring company, recruiter and hiring manager on board with a common goal, solutions to remove unconscious bias and make the application/interview process more open to all—for example, to those without tech access, with disabilities, language barriers or neurodivergences. Hannah Robinson of Distinguished Vineyard Partners will also reveal ways in which we subconsciously eliminate qualified talent for minor "transgressions” during the interview process, including because of biases around how people dress, where they come from, or how they speak.
