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.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Time:<\/strong> <\/span>12.00pm until
