3 Essential Tips Employers Often Overlook in 2023
What should be done about employees who don’t agree their compensation is fair?
Scott Nelson, Personal finance expert at MoneyNerd spoke to Dr. Liz Kofman-Burns, Ph.D. Sociologist and co-founder of HR consultancy, Peoplism, about how employers can become more transparent in order to create a stronger culture of pay transparency.
1. Don’t forget to examine the makeup of your workforce by pay, department and demographics
“If you have limited time and resources, your first step should be to examine the makeup of your workforce by pay band, department, and demographics. You should also look at how long people are in a role before being promoted and see if there are any disparities.
If you see major disparities in these areas, you need to address your hiring and promotion processes.” Dr. Liz Kofman-Burns comments.
2. Make sure your stakeholders understand whether your organisation has an unadjusted or adjusted pay gap
“If high-paying roles in your company (e.g. leadership) are currently filled by majority groups, and lower-paying roles (e.g. admin assistant) are filled by minority groups, there’ll be a high unadjusted wage gap – which can drive feelings of unfairness about pay.
Your organisation could also be facing issues with an adjusted pay gap, whereby one group of employees are being paid more to do the same or similar job to another group of employees.
Investigate if this is happening, and if so, consider setting or re-establishing current pay bands, and make one-time adjustments so that everyone is being paid equitably for doing the same job.” She continues.
3. Don’t put off evaluating employee salaries against inflation
Scott Nelson from MoneyNerd states: “Whether you’re an employer or an employee, it’s important to prioritise looking at evaluating your salary against current industry standards.
If you’re in doubt about whether you’re paying your staff fairly, and in line with inflation – make sure to invest time within your financial departments to evaluate fair compensation and pay rises”
