A year focused on OSH - but where did the pay transparency go?
Today, the world marks World Mental Health Day - an important reminder that mental health is not only about preventing stress, but about creating sustainable conditions for wellbeing, balance, and human growth.
We believe that mental wellbeing should not be a campaign topic for one day a year - but a focus woven into the way we work and collaborate every single day.
Focus on work environment, well-being and digitalization
The legislative programme points to a continued strengthening of the working environment and well-being, including initiatives aimed at ensuring a better balance between flexibility and protection in the labour market.
In addition, we see an increased focus on digitizing and streamlining public and private processes - a development that also has an impact on HR's way of working.
But where did the pay transparency go?
Something particularly glaring is the absence of a draft law on the implementation of the EU wage transparency directive.
Although the implementation deadline is already 7 June 2026, the directive is not yet included in the legislative programme.
That means companies still have a window to prepare -- but that this is the time work should get underway. Among other things, the directive will require:
- Indication of salary ranges in job postings
- Right to insight into salary levels for employees
- Reporting of gender-segregated salary data
Why is it relevant in Mindkey?
At Mindkey, we follow pay transparency closely because it's not just about compliance - it's about trust, fairness and a healthy pay structure.
Our upcoming module for salary transparency is developed to help HR make this an easy process using:
- Data base for gender-segregated salary reports
- Job structure and salary ranges
- Transparent processes around salary determination
It is, in short, about making the complex manageable - and being ready when legislation comes into force.

Is your job structure ready for pay transparency?
Pay transparency is not just a matter of reports and percentages. It starts with something very basic and that is your job structure. If job types, responsibilities and levels are not clear, documentation quickly becomes cumbersome and the conversations difficult to explain. But once the structure is in place, pay transparency becomes much more manageable. It provides a better overview, fairer decisions and an easier dialogue between HR, managers and employees.
Is administration pushing the strategic into the background?
Does HR want to work strategically? But too often time passes with operations, corrections and manual processes. With new requirements for documentation and salary transparency, the issue becomes even more urgent. Have you guys set up your setup so that it frees up time or so that it swallows it up? In this post, we look at why time has become the real bottleneck for growth and how structure and automation can give HR the space to support management more strategically.
