-
Effective Implementation Strategies
Change management and employee experience should be considered from the start to ensure successful implementation of pay fairness and equity initiatives. -
Impact of Fair Pay
Fairness in pay and pay equity can demonstrate a commitment to treating employees with dignity and respect. It can foster a sense of trust and loyalty to a company. This, in turn, can lead to higher levels of morale, productivity, engagement, and retention. -
Comprehensive Pay Equity
Pay equity and transparency go beyond salaries. Organizations should consider pay equity from a holistic perspective, including base salary, total cash, total direct, bonuses, equity, benefits, and retirement. -
Closing the gap
Organizations should prepare by establishing job architecture, building pay ranges, and identifying and remedying any pay gaps. Balancing a global approach with local compliance needs is key.
