How HR tech enables fair and compliant compensation

How HR tech enables fair and compliant compensation HR Tech Summit 2026 | 22 min

Pay transparency regulation is coming across Europe — and most organisations are more exposed than they realise. In this session, Thibault Vilon is joined by specialist Vicky Peakman to cut through the noise around the EU Pay Transparency Directive and get practical: what do you actually need to have in place, and where do you start?

You'll take away:

• What "pay transparency" really means in practice — and the two questions every organisation should be able to answer
• Why simplifying your compensation structure now will make it far easier to justify decisions later
• The three priorities for any HR leader just getting started: pay philosophy, pay structures, and communication
• Why the companies that treat this as a compliance exercise will struggle — and what the ones doing it well are doing differently

"If your employees don't trust that you're paying them fairly, they're not going to want to stay — whether or not they're actually being paid fairly against the market." — Vicky Peakman
