Key take-aways:

In this urgent and important panel discussion, HR and Finance professionals shared their experiences navigating tight budgets, pay equity, and compliance with the EU Pay Transparency Directive (EU PTD). The conversation revealed how organizations with headquarters outside the EU are adapting their compensation strategies, engaging legal teams, and managing communication challenges.

Key Takeaways:

  • Grading is essential for equity analysis
    Companies that conducted thorough grading and leveling exercises were able to explain most pay gaps and secure budget approvals.
  • Legal involvement must be strategic and early
    Engaging legal teams as risk mitigation partners helped overcome resistance and enabled smoother implementation of equity initiatives.
  • Separate budget for pay equity is a smart move
    A centrally controlled budget allows targeted corrections and supports structural changes without burdening merit budgets.
  • Avoid direct communication about pay gap closures
    Messaging should focus on structural changes and policy updates to prevent legal and reputational risks.
  • Pay compression affects career mobility
    Employees may decline promotions due to unfavorable pay structures, especially in CLA vs. non-CLA contexts.
