Description

Navigating workplace pay transparency reveals deeper issues with corporate compensation structures that value years of experience over actual performance and results.

• Pay transparency can create uncomfortable situations when high performers discover they're paid similarly to underperforming team members
• Experience-based pay scales often fail to reward actual contribution and value
• Out-of-band pay adjustments may be necessary when structural inequities threaten to drive away top performers
• Performance-based compensation models with significant bonus components create healthier incentive structures
• Managers must be judicious when making offers to ensure pay reflects value, not just years of experience
• Calibrating pay across teams helps identify and address potential equity issues before they become problems
• Young, high-performing employees are often at a disadvantage in negotiating their true worth
