Pay Transparency Advisory
We help organizations understand, prepare for, and comply with the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

What we deliver
We help organizations understand, prepare for, and comply with the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
The EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970) introduces major new obligations for employers across Europe. Transparency is no longer optional — companies must disclose salary ranges, report gender pay gaps, categorize roles consistently, and take corrective action when unjustified differences exceed 5%. We support organizations in building compliant, fair, and future-ready pay structures based on data, clarity, and trust.

What We Do
01
We assess your current policies, pay data, job architecture, and HR processes to determine what must change to comply with the Directive.
Includes data readiness check, job grouping assessment, pay calculation feasibility, required process and documentation updates.
This gives you a clear, step-by-step path to compliance before the legal deadlines.
02
We support organizations with all required reporting obligations, including:
- Median and mean pay gaps per job category
- Variable pay and bonus analysis
- Identifying outlier groups and high-risk categories
- Preparing annual or triennial reports (based on company size)
If gaps exceed 5% and no objective justification exists, employers must conduct a joint pay assessment and implement corrective action — we guide you through that process.
03
The Directive requires companies to classify roles into clear, objective job categories.
We help organizations by:
- Creating or refining job architecture
- Defining evaluation criteria based on skills, responsibility, effort & working conditions
- Documenting transparent, defensible category rules
- Training HR and managers on consistent application
Strong job categories are the foundation of compliant pay reporting.
04
We support the creation of transparent, internally consistent salary ranges that:
- Align with market benchmarks
- Fit your organizational structure
- Reduce unjustified pay differences
- Support internal equity and long-term talent strategy
Salary ranges must be shared with candidates and employees — we help you prepare for this shift.
05
Where pay gaps are found, we guide you through:
- Root cause analysis
- Corrective pay adjustments
- Process redesign
- Transparent communication frameworks
Our focus: sustainable fairness, not box-ticking.
06
Pay transparency impacts multiple areas:
- Recruitment
- Reward policies
- Internal mobility
- Performance management
- Communication practices
- HR data and governance
We help you embed transparency into everyday processes in a practical and manageable way.
