In this episode, we examine Maryland's new wage transparency legislation and its role in addressing pay inequities in the workplace. We discuss the legal requirements, what they mean for employers, and how they’re expected to impact the wage gap—particularly for women and underrepresented groups. Our conversation will focus on practical strategies for HR professionals and business leaders to navigate these changes, from conducting pay audits to fostering transparency while maintaining organizational trust.
