We’re very pleased to have with us Henrike von Platen, founder and CEO of the Fair Pay Innovation Lab (FPI). Henrike is a leading voice in the field of fair compensation and has been at the forefront of initiatives aimed at closing pay gaps and building sustainable, equitable pay structures across Europe.

In this meeting, she will walk us through the core principles of Fair Pay Certification, how it works in practice, and why it’s becoming a strategic imperative for many organizations.

The session will run for one hour and will include:
• Introduction from Henrike
• Deep dive into the certification process and success factors
• Time for your questions and reflections

Key Takeaways

• Certification is a Continuous Journey: Achieving and maintaining fair pay requires ongoing analysis, action, and transparency. Certification is not a one-off achievement but a structured roadmap that demands annual reviews and continuous improvement
• Regression Analysis is Foundational: Objective, data-driven regression analysis is essential for identifying and closing pay gaps. The choice of variables must reflect company values and be justifiable to employees
• Transparency and Third-Party Validation Build Trust: Increasing transparency at each certification stage, combined with independent review by audited partners and the FPI Screening Board, ensures credibility and fosters trust among employees and stakeholders
• Employer Branding and Community Learning: Certification enhances employer branding and employee engagement. Participation in Fair Pay Circles and Innovation Spaces accelerates learning and progress through shared experiences
