Pay equality is a truly global issue. In fact, equal pay is one of the 17 Global Goals that make up the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Yet, something that was made strikingly clear in gradar’s recent Equal Pay Panel Discussion was that attitudes and legislation towards pay equality vary massively across borders. From the US to the EU, the tide on pay transparency is turning and fresh legislation is making waves. So, how can companies play their part and avoid being left behind?

If one thing’s crystal clear, it’s that pay transparency is no longer an aspiration - it’s a requirement. From mandatory pay ranges in U.S. job listings to the recent passing of the EU Pay Transparency Directive, legislatures across the globe are promoting transparency. The aim? To strengthen the mandate on equal pay. To deep dive into everything equal pay, gradar welcomed Bentje Grunewald, Head of Compensation at DKV Mobility, Anna Figarola, Director of Organization and Compensation at ESPERTA, Oana Botolan, Managing Partner at CTeam Human Capital, and our very own Philipp Schuch, Founder and CEO of gradar. By bringing together some of the brightest minds working in compensation, we explored international perspectives on this truly global topic.
