Pay & Equity

Pay equity audits that stand up to scrutiny

We analyse your pay data, uncover unexplained gaps between women and men and between other groups, and turn the findings into a clear, prioritised remediation plan.

What we do

Pay gap analysis

Statistical analysis of base pay, bonuses and benefits by gender and, where relevant, other demographic factors, controlling for job level, seniority and location.

Job architecture and comparability

Fair comparison starts with comparing like with like. We review job levels and job families so that work of equal value is grouped consistently.

Root-cause diagnosis

We separate differences that can be explained from those that cannot, and trace them back to hiring, promotion and pay-setting practices.

Remediation plan

Prioritised actions, from targeted pay adjustments to policy changes, sequenced to fit your budget and calendar.

How we work

  1. Scoping call and confidentiality framework.
  2. Data collection and clean-up, with clear guidance on what we need.
  3. Analysis, followed by a findings workshop with HR and leadership.
  4. Remediation roadmap and support to communicate it with confidence.

Who it is for

HR directors, CHROs, reward leads and managing directors of mid-sized and large organisations, in Belgium and across Europe, who want to understand their pay position before regulators, employees or auditors ask.

Frequently asked questions

What is a pay equity audit?

A structured analysis of pay data to identify differences in pay between comparable employees that cannot be explained by objective criteria such as role, seniority or performance.

Is a pay equity audit the same as pay transparency compliance?

No. The audit is the analysis. Pay transparency compliance covers the wider information, reporting and process obligations that come with the EU directive. The two work well together.

How confidential is our data?

Every file is handled in strict confidence and processed in line with GDPR. Data is shared only with the consultant who does the work.
