In this special episode of Pay Attention, we step back from the details of the Pay Transparency Directive to take a big-picture look at whether pay transparency actually delivers on its promise. Regular hosts Tom Heys and David Lorimer are joined by Hannah Grayson and Siobhra Rush to explore the historical journey of pay equity — from the early days of gender pay gap reporting to the latest developments in the UK and Ireland. Together, they unpack the research, discuss the intended and unintended consequences of transparency rules, and assess what the future holds for fair pay.
