Webinar
The evolving reality of pay transparency: data, risk, and credibility
When: 2pm ET, Wednesday, August 12, 2026
Duration: 45 minutes
Fresh off its standing‑room‑only debut at SHRM26 in Orlando, Brightmine and Equifax are bringing the conversation to a wider virtual audience on Wednesday, Aug 12.
Pay transparency laws continue to spread in the US and beyond, with more job applicants and employees coming under their umbrella each year. As the legal landscape becomes increasingly complex, pay transparency is quickly becoming an imperative – not only for compliance, but also for talent attraction, employee retention, company reputation and more.
We are now firmly in the pay transparency era where clarity, currency and credibility are non-negotiable. But pay transparency without a strategic, data-informed approach to salary structure and pay equity can backfire. More than ever, employers need to be able to explain and stand behind their pay practices in order to earn the trust of prospective and current employees and meet evolving expectations around fairness, clarity and pay equity.
This session will focus on how organizations can use pay transparency as a strategic lever by combining reliable market data, structured transparency practices, and clear communication to reduce risk, stay ahead of compliance requirements and align transparency with broader business goals.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the current and evolving US pay transparency legal landscape
- Identify and avoid common pay transparency mistakes and pitfalls
- Integrate salary benchmarking into a pay transparency strategy to support compliance and reduce risk exposure
