Their challenge
Growing legislative requirements, including gender pay reporting and the EU Pay Transparency Directive, alongside increasing employee expectations, meant Kennedys needed a clear understanding of its reward practices and potential areas of risk. As a global law firm with nearly 3,000 employees, it wanted to proactively strengthen pay transparency while ensuring alignment with its reward principles.
Our solution
Innecto conducted a comprehensive reward and pay equity audit across the UK and several European offices. Through stakeholder workshops, documentation reviews and detailed data analysis, we assessed current reward practices, identified compliance risks and developed a practical roadmap with prioritised actions, enabling Kennedys to prepare confidently for evolving pay transparency requirements.
The outcome
- Established a clear understanding of current reward practices and their alignment with emerging pay transparency legislation.
- Identified potential risk areas through detailed pay equity, pay gap and recruitment practice analysis.
- Delivered a practical roadmap combining quick wins with longer-term strategic actions.
- Enabled the creation of working groups focused on prioritising and implementing key recommendations.
- Increased confidence across the firm in progressing its pay transparency agenda and preparing for future compliance requirements.
Client feedback
The EU Pay Transparency Directive is complex to understand and although only a few of our European offices are impacted, we were keen to be ahead of the game in terms of preparation to comply. Innecto were able to provide us with clear guidance and insightful analysis that has been easy to digest, with practical recommendations and a realistic roadmap for required changes to reward practice. I would highly recommend them to any organisation who have a strategic focus on increasing pay transparency.
