This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Only a minority of companies say they are ready for mandatory pay transparency, and the first EU gender pay gap reports are due in June 2027. Here are 45 tools to be ready: 35 ready-to-use templates, checklists and procedures and 10 working files.

Open a lecture, take the obligation map, and mark what applies to your company.

Why pay transparency projects start too late

Jobs are not evaluated, pay data is scattered, the gap is unknown until the report, ranges are too wide to publish, and managers have never discussed pay openly.

What changes after this course

You know your obligations and gap, jobs of equal value are compared, ranges are publishable, remediation is planned, and managers and recruiters can talk about pay.

What is inside: 45 tools, counted lecture by lecture

You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.

Who is teaching

I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.

At Preply we put in a coffee machine with free coffee. Soon employees wrote that our beans were cheap and that other IT companies bought freshly roasted beans at twice the price. People always compare. With pay transparency, they will compare with real numbers.
