Pay transparency pilot: forging a fairer path
Every one of us has experienced the excitement of finding the right job. Reading through the advertisement, knowing it’s tailor made for you, excited to get stuck in and show off your skills. But then you see there’s no salary listed. Some people see that as a challenge; a chance to head to the negotiating table and ask for what they want. But for others, it means they end up receiving less than they are worth, and deserve.
