Looming pay transparency laws could create chaos for multinational companies and only 19% are ready for the new normal
Briefly

A significant wave of pay transparency regulations is expected globally, but many employers are not ready. Aon’s survey shows 71% of organizations feel their pay transparency readiness has improved, yet only 19% consider themselves fully prepared. Only 26% have conducted a pay equity analysis recently, and 9% believe their managers can effectively discuss compensation policies. States in the U.S. are increasingly mandating pay range disclosures. Large employers face new EU regulations in 2026 requiring equity reports and addressing gender pay gaps, emphasizing the need for proactive measures in pay transparency.
"Clear, consistent communication and manager training are critical to transparency efforts. Without them, even well-intentioned strategies can fall short."
"Around 71% of organizations say their pay transparency readiness has improved over the past year, but only 19% of organizations consider themselves ready for pay transparency."
