APPENDIX A: VOICES FROM THE CONFERENCE The Ethnicity Pay Gap Conference 2025 served as a vital platform for truth-telling, shared learning, and bold strategising. It brought together senior leaders, practitioners, researchers, and advocates across sectors who are committed to turning equity aspirations into actionable outcomes. This section captures key messages, reflections, and insights from panellists and contributors. Summary of Key Panel Discussions Panel Discussion #1: From Policy to Practice – Embedding Sustainable Pay Equity. This session explored how to move beyond performative pledges by embedding equity into organisational DNA. Key themes: Governance and review mechanisms must make diversity a standing item on leadership agendas. Real-time or quarterly data monitoring is essential, especially in high-volume recruitment environments. Organisations must “price the job, not the person” to remove legacy pay inequities. Panel Discussion #2: Intersectionality and Pay Gaps – Understanding Overlapping Inequities. This panel session emphasised the importance of recognising intersecting identities and how compounded inequities shape workplace experience. Key themes: One-size-fits-all strategies don’t work, race, gender, disability, and class interact in complex ways. Data alone cannot capture lived experience; organisations must pair analytics with empathy. Cultural trust is essential: staff must believe that disclosure leads to action, not exposure.
