Strategies for compliance with emerging global pay transparency laws
Organisations worldwide are navigating pay equity challenges brought to the fore by new and upcoming laws around pay transparency. In the EU, as the significance of the obligations established under the Pay Transparency Directive and wider corporate sustainability requirements start to be appreciated, many companies are putting into place measures to identify the steps they will need to take, including how to address any pay disparities or information gaps, and how to establish effective processes to ensure future compliance and minimise legal and reputational risk.
Knowing the legal pay transparency requirements in each country of operation, how those requirements translate into practical actions and the applicable timelines will be key to establishing a strategy to ensure legal compliance. The requirements will represent a significant step change for most organisations, which will require careful early planning.
