The implementation of the EU Pay Transparency Directive is coming. By June 2026, member states must transpose this Directive into local law, fundamentally altering how pay is discussed, determined, and disclosed.

Hayley Bakker, Head of Customer Journey and Digital Enablement, and Gudrun Thorgeirsdottir, Chief Business Development Officer for Pay Equity, go beyond the compliance checklist to explore how the Directive can become a powerful catalyst for lasting cultural change.

What you'll learn:

  • What systems and processes you’ll need in place to deliver pay transparency.
  • How to prepare your managers and HR business partners to make informed, consistent pay decisions.
  • Why treating the Directive as more than a legal obligation is key to the long-term success.
  • And much more!
Pay transparency isn't just about showing your numbers. It's about building the confidence to stand firmly behind every pay decision you make. Are you prepared?
