In that discussion, Bradley shared a surprising personal reflection:“In 25 years of recruiting—agency and in-house—I’ve never seen the Gender Pay Gap.”Karla’s response was simple, powerful, and deeply revealing:“Brad, you haven’t seen it because you always fight for your people.”That moment became the spark for this episode.Bradley and Karla dive into the real mechanics of the Gender Pay Gap: what the data actually says, who’s behind it, and how even well-meaning professionals—including women—can unknowingly reinforce inequity. Together, they explore how corporate culture often rewards the wrong behaviors, and what it will truly take to break the cycle.This episode doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths—but it also offers a path forward.🎙️ Featuring: @karla.tai | LinkedIn: Karla Tai🎧 Listen now:👉 Apple Podcasts👉 Spotify🔗 Related: Maurice Little on LinkedIn | Project Alliance#GenderPayGap #DEILeadership #EqualPay #WorkYourCareerWednesday #NFLLeadership #KarlaTai #MauriceLittle #ProjectAlliance #CorporateCulture #WomenInHR #LeadershipAccountability #TalentAcquisition #HumanResources #BreakingBarriers #WorkforceEquity #RecruitingTruths #SpotifyPodcasts #ApplePodcasts #WomenInLeadership #CultureShift #HRMatters
