CompensATion ConversATion: Gender Equity

03/07/23 • 35 min

What can you do in your current role to help close the gender equity gap?
In this episode, Murphy Grant, LAT, ATC, NASM-PES, chair of the task force and host of this series, interviews Marje Albohm, MS, AT Ret., and Megan Smith, MSEd, ATC, NASM-CES, to discuss gender equity in athletic training and what you can do to help close the gap.
Albohm and Smith are both part of the subgroup within the NATA AT Compensation Task Force. With the NATA membership being 56% female, what is the issue? If equality has been established in the profession of athletic training, what's next? Tune in as our guests discuss the importance of equity, small ways you can help draw attention to gender disparities at your workplace and why it is important to do so.
The NATA AT Compensation Task Force was formed in August 2021 with the purpose of investigating what influences compensation for athletic trainers, including economic, social and health care related issues.
The “CompensATion ConversATion” series, available through “The NATA-Cast” podcast, focuses on what the task force has identified as the five stages in the life cycle of employment: fundamentals, recruitment, advancement, retention and separation. Each of these cycles will feature an in-depth discussion on potential strategies and solutions to some of the more commonly faced issues found in each stage.
