Episode 328 - The EU Pay Directive is coming and SMEs are not ready for it
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In just weeks, the EU’s Pay Transparency Directive comes into force — and for most Irish SMEs, it’s landing faster than they’re ready for.
Only a tiny fraction of businesses believe they’re prepared. Many can’t evidence how pay decisions were made. And once the law arrives, there’s no going back to fix the past.
Today, we’re shining a spotlight on what this really means for Ireland’s 400,000 small and medium‑sized businesses — and, more importantly, what they need to do next.
I’m joined by Fredericka Sheppard, Co‑Founder and Managing Director of HR consultancy Voltedge, to talk about what good looks like in practice — and by Crystel Robbins Rynne, CEO of HRLocker, who has real‑time insight into what’s actually happening inside Irish SMEs right now.
We’ll cover pay structures, performance management, and recruitment — and give you practical insights on what to do next.
