Pay differences between the genders: Is your business prepared for the Equal Pay Directive?

Equal pay isn't just a matter of fairness; it's also a tool for creating a more productive and engaged work environment. When employees feel fairly compensated, they are happier, more motivated and contribute to a healthier company culture.

1. Identification of salary differences:

The Equal Pay Directive will require a careful review of the pay structure to identify any unfair differences between men and women performing the same work or work of equal value.

2. Action plans for compliance:

The preparation should include the development of concrete action plans to address identified inequalities and bring pay practices in line with the directive.

3. Training and awareness raising:

It is essential to provide training and awareness to managers and employees about the importance of equal pay and how it should be implemented in the organization.

• 1. Visualization of payroll data:

  Salary transparency modules provide a visual representation of salary data, allowing managers to quickly identify any bias.

  2. Individual approach:

  Employees are given individual access to their own salary information, promoting transparency and building trust.

  3. Analysis and reporting:

  Salary transparency in the HRM system provides powerful analytical tools to evaluate salary data and generate reports that can be used to document and address inequalities.

1. Conduct salary transparency analysis:

Start with a comprehensive pay transparency analysis to identify biases.

2. Develop action plans:
