Fair Pay in Action: Expanding Networks, Deepening Impact
FPI Partner Network: Expanding Reach, Deepening Impact
At FPI Fair Pay Innovation Lab, we believe that important changes are only possible through strong partnerships. That’s why we’re proud to spotlight the growing strength and global reach of the FPI Partner Network, now active in 14 countries across 3 continents.
With 26 official partners — and more joining us every quarter — our network is helping companies take bold steps toward transparency, Fair Pay, and accountability in pay structures. From the United States to Germany, Iceland, Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, Spain, Sweden, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, the UK, and Australia, our reach is expanding — and so is our impact.
Each partner plays a vital role in delivering the Universal Fair Pay Check — a certification that not only measures fairness but drives it. Together, we are building the foundation for Fair Pay Worldwide.
What’s next? Join the conversation.
In recent months, FPI has been actively contributing to global dialogue through a series of high-level webinars. We recently joined WTW to explore the future of Fair Pay, and our CEO Henrike von Platen will soon be speaking alongside Rumbold, Laboro and Gradar in upcoming sessions focused on Fair Pay and Pay Transparency.
These events are more than just conversations, they are catalysts for action. One standout moment was our first Fair Pay Innovation Circle, where participants explored a provocative question: What would an ideal pay analysis model look like if we had no restrictions? The discussion revealed a wide range of approaches — from using just one variable to more than twenty — and sparked two key reflections:
-The tension between paying for performance versus paying for skill remains unresolved, yet central to any fair pay strategy.
-Simplicity in methodology must be balanced with the complexity of real-world data and cultural nuance.
This theme of complexity and clarity continued in our Coffee Talk with Margrét Vilborg Bjarnadottir, Co-founder of PayAnalytics, where she and Henrike von Platen unpacked the EU Pay Transparency Directive from a fresh perspective. Their conversation emphasized the importance of transparency not just as a legal requirement, but as a cultural shift — one that demands courage, clarity, and collaboration.

We also joined Jon Sannes, CEO of Nordic Reward Partners, on the Reward Nerds podcast to explore how certification, data, and culture intersect to create lasting change. His reflections echoed many of the same themes: the need for actionable frameworks, the value of external validation, and the power of storytelling in driving internal transformation, here the full podcast
Together, these conversations form a connected arc — from bold questions to practical tools — that is shaping the future of Fair Pay.
Onward and Upward
As we continue to grow, we remain committed to supporting our partners and the companies they serve. Whether it’s through tailored guidance, shared best practices, or joint certifications, our network is designed to scale impact — and we’re just getting started.
We’re also continuing to share and co-create solutions through our Fair Pay Management Circles. These spaces — including our Coffee Talks — are where we keep asking the hard questions, like how to close the gaps that affect us all. They help us reflect, challenge, and move forward with purpose.
These aren’t isolated moments. They’re part of a growing rhythm — one that keeps us focused on the big picture: closing the gaps that still exist, and doing so with clarity, courage, and collaboration.
Let’s take off, grow, and keep making Fair Pay a reality — for everyone, everywhere. The momentum is real. And the Future is Fair.
