Pay transparency: anticipate your new obligations

Pay equality is becoming a measurable legal requirement, no longer just a principle.
Directive (EU) 2023/970 introduces enhanced pay transparency obligations, including the disclosure of salary ranges in job postings, employee access to pay data, and the publication of gender pay gaps. Rather than viewing this reform as a constraint, organisations can turn it into an opportunity to strengthen trust, promote fairness, and enhance their employer brand.

This training provides practical guidance to help you anticipate the Luxembourg transposition of the directive and implement compliant, effective pay practices.
