Pay transparency is no longer theoretical. It is law in major U.S. states such as New York, California, Colorado, and Illinois, where employers are now required to publish salary ranges in job postings. For HR leaders in Europe and in U.S. states where disclosure is not yet mandatory, this trend is a glimpse of the near future. The data is clear: transparency reshapes recruitment outcomes, boosts employer credibility, and closes wage gaps. Companies that prepare now will find themselves not just compliant but ahead of competitors in attracting and retaining the best talent.

The EU Pay Transparency Directive (Directive (EU) 2023/970) introduces new rights for employees to obtain information about pay, and is aimed at enforcing equal pay for equal work between men and women. A key provision is that workers will have a “right to information” (Article 7) about their own pay and how it compares to the pay of peers in similar roles.
