Deep dives

The Inequity of Traditional Pay Practices

Traditional pay practices have not adapted to the evolving workplace and are often shrouded in secrecy, leading to perceptions of unfairness among employees. The old system, relying on levels and bands, often results in significant pay disparities, especially for employees with rare skills who may earn substantially more than their colleagues. This disconnect creates not only internal inequity but also prompts employees to seek external opportunities that offer competitive salaries, undermining loyalty. As a result, organizations must reassess their pay strategies to ensure they align with modern workforce dynamics and expectations.
