Description

HR Team invites ROI Employers to an exclusive webinar event on 21^st January 2026.

 

 

At HR Team, we are always looking for ways to support organisations like yours in navigating the ever-changing landscape of employment law. That’s why we are excited to invite you to our webinar focused on the following topic:

 

“Preparing for the EU Pay Transparency Directive: Key Actions for Irish Employers”– An Interactive Q&A with Breda Cullen and Martina McAuley, Directors of HR Team

 

The EU Pay Transparency Directive will significantly change how Irish employers set, manage, and communicate pay, with major legal and operational implications ahead of the June 2026 transposition deadline. Expanding gender pay gap reporting to include pay by categories of workers, introducing mandatory pay transparency in recruitment, banning pay secrecy clauses, and shifting the burden of proof in equal pay claims, the Directive raises both compliance risks and litigation exposure for employers of all sizes. This webinar will outline the key requirements, highlight the areas of greatest risk, and provide practical guidance on how organisations can prepare now by reviewing pay structures, job evaluation frameworks, HR systems, and governance processes to ensure readiness.

 

Time: 12.00pm until 1.00pm

Date: Wednesday, 21^st January 2026

Cost:  £85 / €100
