Article Summaries:

  • SAP has announced new analytics tools to help companies comply with the EU Pay Transparency Directive (2023/970), which will take effect across EU member states in 2026. The company’s “EU Pay Transparency Insights” feature, launching in the first half of 2026 as part of the People Intelligence package in SAP Business Data Cloud, will provide AI‑driven, ready‑to‑use insights for analysing compensation, spotting outliers and closing gender pay gaps. The directive requires employers to report pay gaps of 5 % or more and to offer transparent pay information to employees and candidates. SAP SuccessFactors HCM already supports basic reporting, while the new insights will enable organisations to generate comprehensive, single‑source equity reports and meet the directive’s deadlines.
