Pay Transparency in Practice: What Employers Should Be Doing Now | Lunch Session

The Pay Transparancy Act is soon implemented in the Netherlands. Join us for an interactive lunch session on this impactful topic.

To serve our community, BioPartner regularly organizes events on topics that matter to growing life sciences and biotech companies. Together with Grant Thornton, we invite founders, management teams and HR professionals to join us for an interactive lunch session on one of the most impactful workforce developments of the coming years: pay transparency.

The topic of the session

Pay transparency is no longer a future development, as the Pay Transparancy Act has to be implemented in the Netherlands and other EU countries. Across Europe, employers are preparing for a new reality in which transparency around pay, job levels and career progression becomes increasingly important.

For many organizations, the question is not whether changes will be required, but where to start. How do you determine whether your reward framework is fit for purpose? What information should be shared with candidates and employees? How do job levels, salary bands and career paths fit into the bigger picture? And how can growing organizations prepare without creating unnecessary complexity?

During this interactive session, we will move beyond the legal text and focus on practical implementation. We will share lessons learned from organizations that have already started their journey, discuss common pitfalls and provide concrete tips on how employers can take meaningful first steps today.

Let’s introduce the Grant Thornton

The session will be led by specialists from Grant Thornton’s Employment Law and Impact Law teams. Together, they support organizations with the legal, strategic and operational aspects of pay transparency, including reward structures, job architecture, governance, employee participation and implementation planning.

What to expect from this lunch session?

  • A practical overview of the current pay transparency landscape
  • Insights into what organizations are doing today to prepare
  • Common challenges for scaling and growing businesses
  • Tips and tricks to start your own pay transparency journey
