Practice forum on pay disclosure
Christian Grund et al.
Abstract
A pressing question facing many firms today is whether to disclose pay information, what specific details to disclose, and to whom this information should be revealed. Despite the relevance of pay disclosure in practice, the perspectives of practitioners on this topic have received little attention from academics. This article provides a forum in which practitioners share lessons-learned, best practices, and implementation challenges associated with pay disclosure. The forum assembles contributions from compensation specialists, employers and worker representatives from Austria, Germany and Switzerland, and displays the heterogeneity of attitudes toward to pay disclosure. We hypothesize that these differences are closely linked to variations in corporate culture, particularly in relation to the levels of trust and employee empowerment within organizations. The practice forum offers a first step for a dialogue between practitioners and scholars working in the area of pay disclosure.
