Welcome to the world of pay transparency.
As a front-line leader, you are about to face some of the most challenging workplace conversations of your life, courtesy of the city and state pay transparency laws that are becoming commonplace. These new laws will likely result in more employees discussing their compensation with co-workers, and more requests to managers and supervisors for pay adjustments to correct differences that employees do not readily understand or accept.
How you handle these conversations will determine your future status as a leader.

Pay transparency is here to stay. By coming out on the side of pay transparency, organizations and managers can position themselves as leaders in the ongoing effort to create a more equitable workforce for the future.
