From “Transparency to Trust” - Navigating the EU Pay Transparency Directive and its Ongoing Impact

Beyond Compliance: Shifting from Transparency to Trust

How EUPTD is reshaping reward, leadership, culture and the employee deal.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive (EUPTD) is more than a regulatory requirement, it's a catalyst for transforming how organizations build trust, lead people, and communicate fairness. As transparency becomes the new standard, organizations must move beyond compliance and prepare for a future where every pay decision, leadership action, and cultural signal is subject to greater scrutiny.

At the same time, AI is fundamentally reshaping how organizations make decisions, manage talent, and engage their workforce. Together, pay transparency and AI are redefining the employee experience, raising new expectations around fairness, consistency, explainability, and trust. Rather than tackling these challenges separately, forward-thinking organizations have an opportunity to address them as part of a single transformation, equipping leaders and managers with the skills to communicate confidently, fostering a culture of openness and accountability, and creating a more transparent, trusted, and future-ready organization.

Join Korn Ferry and an exclusive group of senior executives, HR leaders, and business decision-makers for an interactive afternoon exploring how leading organizations are turning pay transparency into a strategic advantage. 

We will be joined by one of the leading pay experts in the Netherlands from A&O Shearman to talk about the status of the Dutch regulations.

Through keynote presentations, expert panel discussions, and peer conversations, attendees will gain practical insights into the evolving relationship between pay transparency, leadership, AI, organizational culture, and employee trust.
