UCD Smurfit Executive MBA webinar

Negotiating in the era of EU Pay Transparency: Articulate Your Value with the UCD Smurfit Executive MBA 

Negotiating in the 2026 era of EU Pay Transparency
By June 2026, the EU Pay Transparency Directive transforms how professionals negotiate. With the end of "salary history" questions and the introduction of mandatory pay ranges, the power dynamic is shifting.
The UCD Smurfit School Executive MBA is designed to help you not only understand your market value but also how to position yourself for your next career move.

Join us for this exclusive virtual event to explore how to navigate this new era of transparency and leverage it to accelerate your career. We will take you through how important it is to be able to articulate your value and how in the UCD Smurfit MBA Leadership & Employability Advancement Programme (LEAP), our students develop the core competencies needed to progress in their careers successfully. 

• Date: Thursday, 18 June 2026
• Time: 1:00pm - 1:50pm (GMT+1)
• Location:  Virtual event via Zoom
