What really determines how people get paid?

In this episode of the Business Impact Lab Podcast, we sit down with Brittany Davies, Chief People Officer at Fullcast and a passionate advocate for workplace equity. With nearly 20 years of experience in human resources leadership, Brittany offers a behind-the-scenes look at how organizations think about compensation, talent, and the economics of running a business.

The conversation explores the systems that shape wages in the United States and the persistent challenges surrounding the gender pay gap—particularly in Utah, where the issue remains especially pronounced. Drawing on her work with A Bolder Way Forward and her experience leading people operations, Brittany shares how HR leaders balance business strategy with fairness, opportunity, and organizational culture.

Brittany also offers a thoughtful perspective on how the gender pay gap impacts society more broadly—not just as an economic issue, but as a cultural one that shapes opportunity, family decisions, and long-term financial stability. This episode offers valuable insight for leaders, employees, and anyone interested in understanding how organizations make compensation decisions and what it will take to build a more equitable future of work.

In this episode, we discuss: • How HR leaders think about the economics of organizations • The structural factors contributing to the gender pay gap • Why Utah continues to struggle with pay equity • The societal implications of wage disparities • How leaders and organizations can think more intentionally about compensation and opportunity
