Pay transparency – a practical guide to implementation
The EU's Pay Transparency Directive must be implemented into Danish legislation by January 1, 2027 – and many organizations are now faced with the question: How do we translate the requirements into practice?
In this webinar, we focus on how companies can work in a structured way with salary transparency, job architecture and salary frameworks that support both compliance, good management and employee engagement.
The webinar is not a legal review of the directive, but a practical guide to how HR and managers can create a more transparent and explainable foundation for salary determination, recruitment and fair salary development.
Based on concrete experiences and practical examples, Morten Brøkner and Michael Bendixen from The Reward Firm share perspectives on how organizations can move from uncertainty and complexity to a more engaging reward model.
Join the webinar where we dive into:
- The EU's Pay Transparency Directive in the Danish Equal Pay Act
What do the new requirements mean in practice for HR, payroll processes and governance? - The value of an engaging rewards philosophy: How do you create a reward approach that supports fairness, transparency and motivation?
- DISCO vs. own job architecture: How do you work with job architecture and explanatory factors in practice?
- The good salary structure: How do you establish salary bands and placement within them that are consistent and explainable?
- Engagement of leaders: How do you prepare managers for recruitment, salary adjustments and salary dialogues under increased salary transparency?
Participate in the webinar and learn more about the requirements, opportunities and practical measures that the Pay Transparency Directive brings with it.
