Implementing Pay Transparency & Investigative Best Practice

Along with some key regulations and directives, 2026 brings several compliance and labour law challenges.

Join our International Employment experts to deep dive into the legal and practical aspects of the EU Pay Transparency Directive, as well as consider the impact of other upcoming EU Directives.

We will also look back at the implementation of the EU Whistleblowing Directive and how to approach employee investigations in Europe in light of these changes, including some key practical and technical aspects.

We invite you to join us and our International Employment team colleagues at our in-person event focused on navigating the key developments and emerging challenges for the year ahead in the CEE region (Poland, Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia), as well as the wider EU context.
Join us in our Warsaw office on Thursday 19 March 2026 for this half-day event that will be held in English.
