How We Implemented Internal Salary Transparency (And Why It Matters)
summary
At 10 Forward Consulting the company publishes a career progression doc with salary ranges, stores data in an internal Wiki with a historical-data tab, runs quarterly reviews and a monthly check to keep numbers current, and holds a pre-offer letter session to agree ideal and floor salary and vacation. They shared individual salaries internally and found transparency increases applicants and helps advocacy but causes discomfort (notably the lowest‑paid admin). Cited numbers: ~80% want transparency, ~80% of employers find equity gaps, academic gaps fall up to 50%.
