Session information
Breakout session four – Closing the gap 2.3. A debate between 2 in-house and 3 lawyers on pay transparency challenges
Thursday 23 April (1345 - 1500)
Description
The EU Pay Transparency Directive is reshaping how companies manage remuneration, report pay data and demonstrate equal treatment and the pressure to act is mounting. In this session, two in-house lawyers and three leading practitioners share their first-hand experiences navigating the real-world implementation challenges of pay transparency regulation, with a focus on data readiness, equal value job assessments, and the organisational transformation required to align with the new requirements. We will explore how companies and their legal advisers are building the processes, structures, and culture needed to meet remuneration reporting obligations and what it truly takes to embed pay equality across complex, multinational organisations
