SPOTLIGHT: Navigating Pay Transparency Trade-Offs, With Peter Bamberger

Employees and candidates consistently value pay transparency, but
before HR leaders alter their rewards strategies to meet these
expectations, they must first consider their holistic impact on
the organization. Peter Bamberger, Professor at Tel Aviv
University’s Coller School of Management and author of “Exposing
Pay,” joins the Talent Angle to detail what pay transparency
means for employers, employees and society. He shares the history
of the pay transparency movement and relevant academic research
to explain how a culture of transparency impacts outcomes like
pay equity and productivity. He argues that organizations should
ultimately pursue a path toward more transparency.
