Why Isn't There More Pay Transparency?

Hey Besties!

Happy Wednesday! We hope your week is off to a great start. We’ve got a strong lineup for you today, starting with a listener story that had us all nodding in sympathy. If you’ve ever been in HR during tough times, you’ll definitely relate to this one. So grab your coffee (or whatever gets you through), and let’s get into it:

In This Episode:

• Intro Story: One of our Besties shared a story about being in HR for a startup during a round of companywide layoffs. (It sounds like something Jamie would do)

• Corporate Cringe Speak: You’ve seen it on LinkedIn. We’ve seen it on LinkedIn. It’s the phrase that makes you want to close the tab and go for a walk. (And if you think you might be one...well, you probably are (and we still love you!))

• Hot Topic: Let’s talk pay transparency. It’s a hot topic that’s got everyone from entry-level employees to the C-suite buzzing. Why don’t more organizations give clear answers? (We have thoughts - and tips)

• Questions & Comments: Our weekly round up including HR’s Yes Day (when HR could really be your friend!)

Discussion Guide - For your next HR Besties meetup or team huddle:

• Thought Leader: What makes someone a “thought leader”? And are some of the most overused buzzwords in our industry?

• Pay Transparency: How do we feel about pay transparency in workplaces? What are the potential benefits and drawbacks? Would more proactive communication benefit everyone?

• Yes Day: If HR could say yes to one thing for everyone, what would be the most impactful? How can we use this idea (in a realistic way) to boost morale?
