The story
Your pay policy as a clear storyline.
We translate the pay structure, bands and criteria into language a manager can use in a conversation. Not a legal leaflet, but a story that holds up.
Theme 05 · Pay transparency
Mandatory, complex and sensitive.
Pay transparency is coming: mandatory, complex and emotionally charged. We prepare the people who actually have to hold the conversations.
The problem
The EU directive makes pay transparency mandatory. But the law is the easy part. The hard part is the manager who'll have to explain why colleague A earns more than colleague B.
- Managers don't feel prepared
- One bad conversation undermines the whole policy
- Legal language never reaches the shop floor

EU pay transparency directive
Our approach
From problem to experience.
The experience
Practice conversations in a safe simulation.
Managers rehearse the difficult conversation in a simulation: a colleague who's angry, sad, or simply right. Mistakes are allowed, that's where you learn.
The effect
Managers who dare to have the conversation.
When the first real pay question comes, the conversation has already been rehearsed ten times. The policy stands because the people carrying it can explain it.
Proof
Pilot with managers.
Pilot · HR & people managers
The hardest pay conversation, safely rehearsed ten times.
A pilot group of managers went through the simulation before the rollout of the new pay policy. The toughest real-world reactions were in the script, emotions included.
