Mind the (Gender Pay) Gap

The adoption of the EU Pay Transparency Directive in June 2023 represents a bold step forward in the pursuit of gender pay equality.

The Directive introduces far-reaching obligations on employers of all sizes which are backed up by powerful enforcement mechanisms.

As the countdown to implementation begins, employers caught by the Directive will need to start adapting their practices and tackling the compliance challenges early in order to manage the associated legal, financial and reputational risks. The impact of the Directive will not only be felt in the EU, but across the Globe including the UK, as the Directive will raise expectations and serve as a gold-standard.
