[INTERVIEW] EU Pay Transparency Directive, 2026/05/11

Pay transparency: what if the directive became a strategic advantage for HR leaders?

The European directive on pay transparency is approaching. Rather than seeing it as a constraint, it can become a powerful lever to clarify, structure and secure remuneration policies.

In an interview for the ANDRH magazine (French National Association of HR Directors), our partner Pierre Sandres analyses the impacts of this reform and focuses in particular on:

- the concrete challenges for HR leaders (recruitment, job frameworks, justification of pay gaps),

- the reversal of the burden of proof in matters of pay discrimination,

- the key role of social dialogue and employee representatives,

- the value of anticipating now to reduce litigation, financial and reputational risks.
