Totally Rewarding Chats | Ep. 13: Working to Global Pay Equity
Q: What are the two key items you'd highlight as essential for successful pay equity programs?
First, secure help—whether from legal teams, specialized practitioners, or external analytics support—to stay on top of complex regulations across multiple jurisdictions. Second, don't sleep on communications; ensure clear, consistent messaging and materials that reach line managers and employees, not just leadership.

Q: How did you start your journey into pay equity and transparency?
Warren explains that his path began through long-term roles in compensation at large firms, where he gradually engaged in pay equity and transparency initiatives as part of standard practice, rather than starting from a fresh mandate. He emphasizes leveraging existing expertise and expanding scope as regulations evolved.
