This 60-minute webinar will explore how pay transparency is changing the business environment, with a particular focus on the gender pay gap, equal pay and better protection of women’s rights in the workplace.

Two of the most visible dimensions of gender equality in business are women’s representation in leadership and equal, transparent pay. While women’s representation in decision-making positions remains an important part of the broader gender equality agenda, this webinar will focus primarily on pay transparency, the gender pay gap and equal pay for equal work. These issues go beyond regulatory compliance and raise important questions about fairness, business performance, talent, trust and the protection of women’s rights.

At present, only five EU Member States have fully transposed the Directive, while Bulgaria and Poland have published draft legislation but have not yet completed the transposition process. The slowdown in the transposition process affects companies and creates tensions between regulatory requirements and voluntary measures. At the same time, more companies are improving their pay practices while waiting for the legislation to become effective.
