Keynote Speaker Session - How to Drive a Pay Strategy When Managers are at the Wheel

Jamie Colvin, Founder & CEO, SimplyConnect

With Spring just around the corner, let’s take a pay-road trip! You get to set the destination. You can pick the beaches of pay equity, the rugged mountains of pay transparency, the adventure park of paying for performance or even pick a new spot on the map. The challenge ahead…your managers are at the wheel and get to decide how to get there and what route to take. But their choices and behaviors can be influenced and shaped by you. Let’s explore what’s working, what’s not working, and how you can take your strategy to the next level. 


Session 1 -Pay Equity: The Challenge & The Opportunity 

Ruth Thomas, Chief Product Evangelist, Payscale

2022 was a turbulent year, with labor market challenges, wage growth, a cost-of-living crisis, and concerns of a possible economic downturn. We saw pay equity focus shift as states began passing pay transparency laws and the Great Reevaluation fueled job moves and pay compression concerns.  

Against this background Ruth will consider: 

• What is the Pay Equity challenge today, and what is the opportunity? 

• What’s the rate of progress? 

• How can we solution this by taking collective action.


Session 2 - Innovation in Compensation

Marc Mullis, Founder & CEO, Payformance Partners 

The world, and the labor market, have changed drastically over the last few years. Traditional compensation methods are not keeping up. Payformance Partners founder and CEO, Marc Mullis will highlight innovative solutions to help you solve today’s labor market challenges and ease administrative burdens.


Let's go to the Movies!  

Join us in the cinema of the American Theater for warm popcorn and candy to hear from a Gold Sponsor on technology can facilitate analysis and resolutions for pay equity, pay transparency, and minimizing your time spent with these tasks.


Session 3 -   Innovations and Trends in Healthcare - Increasing Impact, Managing Cost Heather Rowe, Vice President, Client Success, Craft HR Solutions & Ken Cole, Vice President, Employee Health & Benefits, Marsh McLennan Agency

Keynote Speaker Session - The Impact of Diversity on Compensation

April Simpkins,  DEI Strategist | Mental Health Advocate l Ambassador for NAMI  

CHRO, QuestCo Companies

For many organizations compensation is still anxiety-inducing and subjective. 

Even though several studies have been done regarding the disparity in pay for many diverse communities, explanations of why a disparity exists to, begin with, vary widely. According to the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE), women had to work all of 2021 thru March 15, 2022, to equal the salary men earned in 2021. We recognize this day as Equal Pay Day. And while this day has fallen earlier each year, the end goal is to understand why the disparity exists and what organizations can do to address it.

This energetic and information-packed presentation will provide attendees with action steps that can be applied immediately to help understand and address compensation disparities in diverse communities.  

Attendees of this presentation will learn:

1. How a DEI initiative can provide a strategy to address compensation disparities.

2. The impact of generational differences on compensation.

3. Tips on policies and practices that make conversations on compensation less anxiety-inducing.
