Preparing for a first meeting with workers' representatives

This material is a briefing deck for HR teams preparing their first meeting with workers' representatives on the EU Pay Transparency Directive (Directive (EU) 2023/970). It explains who counts as a representative, the role they hold across the pay-equity cycle - from agreeing job-evaluation criteria to pay-gap reporting and the joint pay assessment - and how national transposition reshapes the Directive's baseline on timing, form, and role. Use it to open the conversation early, agree a shared starting point, and set the next steps before the local obligations formally apply.
