EU Pay Transparency Directive Fireside Chat With TUI Group

The transposition deadline has come and gone, but Europe's pay transparency landscape is still very much in motion.

Some countries have fully implemented the Directive, others are mid-process, and a few haven't moved at all — leaving employers to navigate compliance against a moving target. Article 7's Right to Information provisions are already live in several member states, putting new pay-related requests in front of HR teams today. And with Article 9 reporting on the horizon for mid-2027, the next major milestone is closer than most organizations realize.

Watch the recording of our recent webinar with Lara Winzen, Pay Equity & Transparency Consultant at beqom, Hayley Bakker, Head of Customer Experience & Enablement at beqom, and Max Oranski, Senior Manager Global Reward at TUI Group, for a candid conversation on where things stand today, what's changed over the summer, and what organizations should be doing now to get ahead of what's coming next.

What you will learn: 

  • What's changed over the summer: The key legislative developments and updates across member states over the past few months.
  • Differing approaches across member states: How countries are aligning or diverging from the legislation when transposing it into local law.
  • Right to Information in practice: What Article 7 means day to day — the requests employees can now make, how organizations are responding, and where gaps are showing up.
  • Getting ahead of Article 9 reporting: The local nuances shaping the mid-2027 deadline, and the data prep, simulations, and remediation steps organizations should start now.
