The Real Effects of Pay Transparency in Business
This article discusses the impact of pay transparency laws on businesses, emphasizing how these regulations can reduce gender and racial pay gaps. It highlights that such laws, now enacted in multiple states, require employers to disclose salary ranges, which can empower employees, particularly women and minorities, to negotiate better pay. The article also addresses challenges companies face in complying with these laws, the potential benefits of transparency in building trust, and the broader implications for equity and fairness in the workplace.
