Pay Transparency and the New Expectations for Senior HR Leaders
Invitation-only executive roundtable for senior HR and People leaders
The EU Pay Transparency Directive is approaching. Starting June 2026, organisations will need to do more than show commitment. They will need to show that pay and progression decisions are fair, consistent, and ready to withstand scrutiny.
This session is designed for senior HR and People leaders who want practical insight, honest peer discussion, and clearer next steps.
Who this is for
Senior HR and People leaders in organisations with 1,000+ employees, especially those responsible for Reward, Talent, Workforce Strategy, Organisational Effectiveness, or leadership pipelines.
If your executive team, board, employees, or employee representatives are asking tougher questions about pay fairness and transparency, this conversation is for you.
Event details
In-person executive roundtable
19 May 2026
9:30 to 13:00 CET
Van Lanschot Kempen
Beethovenstraat 300, Amsterdam
Limited seats to keep the conversation senior, peer-level, and confidential.
Why now
This is not just a policy change. It will affect how pay and progression decisions are made, communicated, and defended across the organisation.
Without alignment, transparency can create more questions, more inconsistency, and less trust.

Hosted by
Rise & Lead Women
Supported by Van Lanschot Kempen
