Federal enforcement of employment discrimination laws is shifting to reflect the priorities of the current administration. As a result, employers are seeking guidance on how to comply with existing laws and minimize legal risks when managing their workforces. Join us for a four-part webinar series where we explore barrier analysis—an approach informed by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that uses both qualitative and quantitative methods. This approach can help employers identify and mitigate legal risks in their policies, practices, or procedures throughout the employment life cycle. In the first webinar, the speakers will provide legal frameworks, best practices, and practical examples of how to conduct privileged analyses of workforce data to support legally defensible practices across various stages of employment, including recruiting and selection, development, performance evaluation, compensation, and retention.

The European Union (EU) Pay Transparency Directive will apply to every employer with a headcount in the EU. The deadline for implementing the directive in each EU country is June 7, 2026, which is less than 12 months away, so the clock is ticking! Join us as we explore the directive’s key provisions, including pay transparency, the categorization of workers (such as those performing work of equal value), and the requirements for reporting the gender pay gap. Pete Bell, a member of Ogletree’s data analytics team, and Daniella McGuigan will discuss the directive and its implications, including the actions and preparations you may want to consider now.
