Xylem, a global leader in water technology, needed a simpler and more reliable way to manage Sweden’s mandatory annual gender pay equity reporting. Their previous system was complex, time-consuming and required heavy manual work, increasing the risk of compliance issues and unnecessary costs.
The challenge:
Swedish legislation requires employers to conduct annual gender discrimination and pay equity reporting. For Xylem, maintaining the correct data and producing compliant reports in their previous system was both difficult and resource-intensive.
Why Xylem chose Pihr
Xylem looked for a more streamlined alternative that would reduce manual effort and simplify reporting. After reviewing their options, including keeping their old tool, they selected Pihr for its:
- Ease of use
- Clear demonstration of capabilities
- Hands-on support during onboarding
Implementation: smooth and fast
The onboarding process was straightforward, with personal guidance from Pihr’s team. Xylem experienced no issues during implementation and could start working in the platform immediately.
Results: 40 hours saved per report
Pihr delivered an immediate impact on Xylem’s pay equity report workflow:
- 40 hours saved for each annual report
- Higher compliance accuracy
- Significantly easier reporting process
- Fully integrated into the annual salary review and union discussions
Pihr now supports Xylem in meeting all mandatory requirements, efficiently and with confidence. Pihr is now fully integrated into Xylem’s annual HR cycle, making pay equity reporting both faster and more secure.
We use Pihr for our mandatory annual gender discrimination reporting. It’s an essential part of our salary review process.

With the upcoming EU directive, Xylem expects reporting requirements to increase, including more detailed data. Pihr positions them well to meet these expectations and move toward even more transparent salary structures.
