At Pihr, our mission is to empower companies with cutting-edge pay equity analytics that drive fairness, transparency, and compliance. Today, we are proud to share that Pihr’s technology has been officially audited by the FPI as an “Approved Tool” for pay equity analysis.

Through this partnership, Pihr’s audited platform will work seamlessly alongside FPI’s globally recognized UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® certification process, enabling organizations not only to analyze and improve pay equity, but also to gain an independent, globally trusted quality seal.
