Why is pay transparency important?

Contrary to what many people believe, it is not necessarily about disclosing the salaries of employees, but instead being clear and open about how pay decisions are made. It fosters a shared understanding of an organisation’s reward principles and makes it easier for employees to see how their role fits.

Because pay transparency encourages employers to be more open about the purpose of pay and how these decisions are made, it can also help to reduce the gender pay gap.

Pay Transparency Scale

Pay transparency

The path to becoming more transparent

Pay transparency refers to the degree of visibility employees have into their company’s salary and compensation practices.

This whitepaper provides insights about how adopting this practice can help you attract and retain top talent, reduce turnover costs, boost morale among your workforce—and much more.

Our approach

When we talk about pay transparency, the focus is usually on what everyone is earning, but how and why pay decisions are made is a lot more meaningful. People want to know they’re being treated fairly and consistently.

This scale divides the ‘what’, ‘how’ and ‘why’ of pay into five steps, starting with no transparency on the left and moving to complete transparency on the right. It helps you identify where you are, your destination and how you can get there.
