Pay Transparency Readiness Pathway
Developing a clear plan that delivers business value
We offer a focused two-week process with the team at Merities Consulting to set you up for pay transparency success.
Do you have a pay transparency problem?
Tick those that apply:
☐ Are you confident in your preparations for the EU Pay Transparency Directive?
☐ Can you assure the executive leadership that employee queries will be minimal?
☐ Is your implementation approach well organised, and progressing?
☐ Do your recruitment and pay practices stand up to scrutiny?
☐ Do you have the right job architecture and pay governance structures in place?
What you receive:
1. An independent assessment of your readiness
An expert review of the areas which matter the most under the Directive, identifying where you are well prepared and where your biggest risks lie.
2. A prioritised implementation roadmap
A practical action plan showing what to tackle first, what can wait and where responsibility should sit across HR, reward and the wider business. It will also look for opportunities to minimise workload for the longer-term.
3. Executive confidence
A leadership briefing which gives decision-makers a shared understanding of the current position and a clear basis for planning next steps.

Deliverables:
Readiness scorecard
Based on your existing reward policies, relevant HR documentation, interviews with key team members and review of the planned pay transparency implementation approach, we provide a structured assessment of your organisation against our Four-Pillar Pay Transparency Model. This will highlight strengths, risks and implementation gaps.
Implementation roadmap
A prioritised plan showing where effort should be focused immediately, in the near term and what can wait. In addition to recommended sequencing it will also cover ownership and dependencies.
Executive briefing
A facilitated discussion of the findings with your leadership team helping to build consensus on priorities and next steps.
How the process works:
Preparation
Your organisation:
Complete a short questionnaire about your existing reward policies and planned approach to implementing Pay Transparency and current challenges and priorities you would like us to understand.
Share your relevant documents. We have included a checklist of documents to help you identify the information that will give us the clearest picture of your current position.
Merities:
We review your responses and documentation, combining them with our expertise and the Pay Transparency Success Model™ to build an understanding of your organisation's current level of readiness, identify strengths and potential risks, and tailor the discussions to your priorities.
