The staffing industry, like many others, faces a challenge: women and people of color generally earn less than white men do for the same work. Hear about data on the pay inequity in the industry from Eric Gregg of ClearlyRated—an ASA corporate partner—and get insights from senior executives in the staffing industry on how staffing professionals can work to eliminate the pay gap during the ASA webinar “Pay Inequity in the Staffing Industry—A Panel Discussion.” It takes place Thursday, Oct. 28, 3–4 p.m. Eastern time.

All ASA webinars are free for ASA members, and most qualify for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.
