Building a global pay equity program that matched Siemens' ambition
Siemens operates across more than 70 countries with vastly different business segments and workforce structures. Building a pay equity program that worked across all of it felt out of reach. It wasn't a top-down mandate — it was a team that knew this was possible, and needed a partner that could match their ambition.
Before Syndio, pay equity analysis was limited to the top 10 countries by revenue, run manually, with no way to scale across the full complexity of the organization. A company of Siemens' scale needed more than a point-in-time analysis. It needed continuous governance that traveled as fast as the business.
"The complexity of Siemens made building a global pay equity program feel out of reach, but our team knew it was possible. We just needed a partner that could match our ambition. With Syndio, every employee, in every country, is part of our analysis. Pay equity is now embedded in our sustainability framework, with leadership accountability. We don't just feel like customers — we feel like partners."

The challenge: scaling from 10 countries to every employee
Siemens' previous approach worked for its largest markets — but it left the majority of the global workforce outside the analysis. Regional teams operated independently, managers had no visibility into equity indicators at the moment of decision, and there was no unified framework to hold the program to a global standard.
The gap wasn't in ambition. It was in infrastructure. Without a platform that could handle Siemens' scale — multiple business segments, 70+ countries, vastly different data structures and regulatory requirements — a consistent, defensible global program wasn't possible.
Syndio Platform
From manual, partial analysis to continuous global governance
Siemens and Syndio replaced a manual, partial process with a continuous global platform — reaching every employee, in every country, with visibility for the global team and local markets alike. Managers now receive equity indicators directly in the merit cycle, with the ability to add comments and create an audit trail. That coverage change didn’t just scale the analysis. It created the foundation for leadership accountability.
