Upcoming curated networking meetings
4 Feb 2026 - EU Pay Transparency and gender pay reporting
The impending EU Pay Transparency Directive, set for implementation in June, continues to cause uncertainty and concern as the lack of clarity around how each EU jurisdiction will interpret the directive makes it difficult for companies to plan their approach to pay and benefits transparency. This networking session is an opportunity to come together to share practical insights and experiences around current readiness as well as the ongoing challenges faced in navigating the directive’s requirements.
Discussion points could include:
- Data quality, systems and benefits valuation
- Policy review, job architecture and compliance readiness
- Securing leadership engagement and organisational buy-in on the pay transparency journey
