Sysarb

Sysarb began in 2005 with a bold idea. If fairness in the workplace was going to be more than a promise, companies needed real tools to measure it and make it happen. Almost twenty years later, that idea has evolved into a platform that supports more than 600 organisations in 60 countries, enabling them to turn pay equity into an everyday practice.

What started as a consultancy focused on closing pay gaps has evolved into a trusted partner for leaders who want pay equity to shape their culture, not just satisfy compliance. Many organisations have struggled to manage pay transparency and compliance in a fragmented manner, relying on spreadsheets, manual reporting, and disconnected systems.

Sysarb has helped these companies gain clear insight into disparities, understand the drivers behind them, and take meaningful steps toward building a fairer workplace, all through an all-in-one platform. It streamlines processes, ensures regulatory alignment, and supports companies through every stage of their pay equity journey.

“Our clients value Sysarb because we turn complex pay equity challenges into clear, actionable outcomes,” says Oscar Meivert, CEO.

Clarity That Builds Confidence

Pay equity is one of those concepts that everyone agrees on, yet few know how to put into action. Salaries are influenced by numerous factors, including job role, experience, performance, and geography. Without a clear system, even well-intentioned companies can overlook hidden gaps.

Sysarb takes that complexity and translates it into answers leaders can act on. The platform utilises statistical modelling that accounts for the relevant variables, ensuring accurate and fair comparisons. Every model has been independently audited and certified by the Fair Pay Innovation Lab, providing clients with confidence that their results will withstand external review.

The outcome is clarity. Executives can pinpoint pay gaps and the factors behind them, employees are assured that fairness is a genuine priority, and regulators receive the data they require. What once felt like a puzzle becomes a roadmap that leaders and teams can follow.

Building Trust Through Openness

Meeting regulations is one part of the process. Creating a culture where openness is valued is the larger step. Sysarb recognises that lasting change depends on both.

The company collaborates closely with legal specialists and monitors regulatory developments across Europe and North America. Its platform is continuously updated so that clients stay aligned with new rules and expectations. At the same time, Sysarb prioritises the way transparency is shared with stakeholders. Leaders are given the means to share results in a way that strengthens trust inside their organisations while satisfying external requirements.

Openness at Sysarb is not limited to its platform. Internally, the company has built a culture rooted in accountability and shared purpose. Goals, challenges, and decisions are clearly communicated, and every employee has a voice. Fairness is embedded in compensation practices, career development, and the creation of an inclusive workplace. By living the same values internally that it advocates externally, Sysarb ensures its people feel trusted and empowered, which directly strengthens the quality of client partnerships.

Sysarb also brings companies together through the Pay Transparency Alliance. This community connects organisations across the European Union that are preparing for new laws and searching for shared solutions. The alliance turns regulatory pressure into a collective opportunity. Instead of approaching transparency in isolation, companies find themselves part of a network moving in the same direction.

A Worldwide View of Equity

Today’s workforce is global, and pay equity must reflect that reality. A company might employ teams in Sweden, Germany, and the United States, each with its own rules, benchmarks, and cultural expectations. Managing all of that consistently is a tall order.

Sysarb’s Global Overview feature addresses this challenge. Leaders can see real-time pay equity data across every region, while still drilling down into the details of each local team. Integrations with HR systems make the process seamless, and the collaboration with Mercer expand the reach of salary benchmarking. The result is a platform that understands the broad strokes of global fairness and the fine points of local compliance.

Artificial intelligence also plays a growing role. Sysarb’s analytics help uncover hidden pay gaps, flag risks, and forecast compensation trends before they become issues, and suggest solutions based on patterns in the data. By utilising these tools, companies can transition from reacting to problems to proactively preventing them.

Partnership That Lasts

Technology alone does not change culture. Sysarb’s strength lies in pairing its platform with a team that works closely alongside clients. Companies often begin with a need for compliance, but discover that the partnership should extend far deeper.

One well-known car manufacturer approached Sysarb when it needed help with gender pay gap reporting. The challenge seemed straightforward at first, but as the work unfolded, it became clear that leadership wanted more than a report. They wanted to build a lasting culture of fairness. Sysarb guided them through creating a program that employees could trust and leaders could manage with confidence. What started as a regulatory necessity grew into a transformation of company culture, backed by measurable results.

Stories like this are common across Sysarb’s clients. The team is consistently described as proactive, responsive, and committed to making fairness achievable. Support does not stop once the platform is in place. Sysarb continues to guide organisations as regulations evolve and priorities shift, ensuring that pay equity remains actionable and sustainable.

Nearly twenty years in, Sysarb has shown that pay equity can move from a lofty ideal to a daily business practice. When fairness becomes a core practice, it shapes how teams collaborate, how leaders earn trust, and how organisations define success.

Sysarb is preparing for the next chapter of change. As innovation drives automation, integration, and intelligence, clear communication and transparency have never been more important. Employees need timely, accessible information to understand policies, processes, and expectations, while managers require visibility into organisational trends to make fair, informed decisions. Transparency dashboards will give managers and employees alike the insight they need to act with confidence.

The road ahead will bring new pressures as regulations tighten and employee expectations rise, yet momentum comes from companies that treat fairness as a way of working rather than a task to complete. Sysarb’s vision is expansive: equal pay should not feel like a future goal. It should be the standard that defines how workplaces thrive today.
