Negotiating for Success: Gender and the Pay Gap
What is really at the heart of the pay gap between men and women? Is it systemic workplace discrimination? Is it due to the different work-life choices that men and women make? Are there complex hidden barriers to equal pay? Two experts representing both sides of the debate will engage you in a lively discussion supported by research and statistics, and then focus on what women can do to close the gap.
