S2E12 Equal vs Equitable: Rethinking Pay in a Unionised Environment

from A Case of the Mondays · host Rameez Kaleem

Collective bargaining sounds straightforward in theory, but the reality is far messier. Rebecca Chilcott, HR Transformation Manager at Veran Performance, knows this first-hand, and in this episode she talks openly about what it's actually like to negotiate pay conditions across multiple bargaining units.Rebecca and Rameez dig into why a solid job architecture matters so much when you're trying to make pay fair and explainable, how transparency changes the dynamic in negotiations, and what it really takes to get the business pulling in the same direction on pay equity.If you're working in an organisation where unions are part of the picture, or where pay structures have grown complicated over time, this conversation will give you some useful things to think about.Rebecca's Linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-chilcott-36526a58/Rameez's Linkedin page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rameezkaleem/Visit the 3R Strategy website here: https://www.3r-strategy.com/We hope you enjoyed this episode!Give it a like, share, and subscribe to not miss the content coming your way weekly. – Rameez and the A Case of the Mondays Podcast Team
