EU Pay Transparency Directive: Between Panic and Apathy

​There are two ways HR leaders are reacting to the EU Pay Transparency Directive right now:

​Some are waiting for the German implementation before doing anything. Others are in full panic mode, attending every webinar, stockpiling whitepapers, and still not sure what to actually do on Monday morning.

​We think there's a better way.

​The Bundesarbeitsgericht has already ruled on pay transparency multiple times. There is real guidance out there. There are concrete things you can check and fix right now. And none of it requires waiting for a law that hasn't landed yet, or losing your head over one that has.

​We're bringing together a small group of senior HR, Comp & Ben, and People Leaders in Berlin for exactly that kind of conversation: calm, focused, and grounded in what's actually happening in organisations like yours.

​No slides. No fearmongering. No selling. Just honest peer exchange with people who are working through this in real time.

​What we'll cover:
· What the BAG rulings already tell us and what they mean in practice
· The legal risks and grey zones worth actually worrying about
· How to get your pay data and structures in order before the law catches up
· What to say to employees, and when

​Inner Circle:
🎙 Dr. Kara Preedy, Partner, KLIEMT Arbeitsrecht on Employment law & legal risk
🎙 Maria Kamischke, HR Consultant on HR Strategy and Comp&Ben practice
🎙 Pay data & benchmarking expert (TBC)

​Format: Fishbowl · interactive, participant-driven, Chatham House Rules
Audience: 20–30 Senior HR, Comp & Ben and People Leaders When: Tuesday, 19 May 2026 · 18:00–21:00
Where: Berlin (TaxFix Office)
