Fragmented state and local wage policies, limited social safety nets, and evolving political dynamics create challenges that differ markedly from other high- and low-income markets where companies have focused their living wage efforts.\n\nExplore how companies are recalibrating their approach to living wage to begin to close this gap in the U.S. and gain practical insights from BSR’s work with leading companies. Together, we will examine why the U.S. requires a distinct lens—and how businesses can begin to close this gap to ensure short- and long-term resilience.\n\nParticipants will gain:\n\nA clearer understanding of why the U.S. is emerging as a high-priority market in global living wage assessments \nInsights into the fragmented policy and labor landscape that is shaping company actions \nPerspectives on how living wage gaps intersect with benefits, worker support systems, and cost of living realities \nExamples of how companies can address living wage challenges through wages, benefits, and workforce management. \nOpportunities to put these insights into action with BSR’s upcoming report, UNGA convening, and member roundtable on this specific topic\n\n\nScheduled Speakers\n\nEmma Giloth, Associate Director, Human Rights and Inclusive Business, BSR\nMichelle Murray, CEO and Founder, Living Wage for Us\nKavya Vaghul, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer , Living Wage Institute","thumbnail_url":"https://cdn-thumbnails.sproutvideo.com/8c9adcba1a15e5cb06/d3f38f43301f70d1/1787691267/w_1280/poster.jpg?v=1788897811","thumbnail_width":1920,"thumbnail_height":1080,"video_id":"8c9adcba1a15e5cb06"}
