One Program · 20 Working Days

Training
program for change

A structured four-week program — twenty working days — to move from diagnosis to lasting change. Built around your data, your managers, and your regulatory reality.

Designed for leaders, managers, and HR specialists. Each program helps you build a professional identity grounded in care for workplace communication and social responsibility as an employer.

AI & licensing

AI assistance inside each program is designed for your organization’s own work only — use it through company-licensed tools such as M365 Copilot. Before using an AI assistant, confirm that your company’s license and data-processing terms allow that tool to handle this information. Do not paste personal or confidential employee data into external or consumer AI services.

We never collect personal or company data from you — GDPR is built in. Your company stays in control; the only commitment is to follow the program.

Program 01

Pay Equity& transparency

Close the gap. Show your work.

Pay Equity & transparency

A 20-day program to move from suspected disparity to a defensible, transparent pay architecture aligned with the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

Main goal

Eliminate unexplained pay gaps and give every employee a clear, defensible answer to the question: how is my pay decided?

What it covers

Use AI assistance only for your own organization's work, through company-licensed tools such as M365 Copilot with your employer's licence. Before using an AI assistant, confirm that your company’s licence and data-processing terms allow that tool to handle this information. Do not paste personal or confidential employee data into external or consumer AI services.

This program helps leaders understand whether pay differences are explainable, defensible, and fair using your own payroll and role data. It separates visible pay gaps from the structural causes underneath — role design, job leveling, hiring offers, bonuses, and manager discretion.

You will build objective criteria for how jobs are valued and how salary bands are set, giving managers a consistent way to explain decisions. The process identifies outliers and models the cost and sequencing of adjustments so pay equity becomes a planned investment, not a surprise.

The final output is a pay-equity dashboard, a remediation plan, and a governance rhythm for ongoing review. It is especially useful before reporting cycles, restructuring, rapid growth, or the introduction of new job architecture.
