PR, Ethics & the Gender Pay Gap

Event Overview

The global public relations industry is widely a female-dominated sector, with many market statistics (depending on nation) placing women in the field between 60-80%. Yet gender pay gaps persist, as well as women often missing from senior and executive management ranks. 

In this special #PRCAethics Month session, a robust conversation about the data and ethical considerations of PR’s gender pay gap challenge will be explored, as well as solutions and management considerations:

•    To what extent the gender pay gap is an issue in PR, particularly as a female-dominated industry 
•    The obvious AND lesser-known / counter-intuitive issues faced by management teams seeking to contend with their gender pay-gap challenge 
•    Key best-practice successes by companies that are overcoming these challenges well vs. key failings of companies that are making continued missteps
o    Consequences of failure 
o    Consequences of inaction 
•    Critical roles of internal communications and trust-building, as part of the process (and what barriers exist as part of these processes)
•    Ethical issues at hand:
o    Fairness
o    Disclosure / transparency
o    D&I
o    Legal
•    Next steps and calls-to-action
