How We Implemented Salary Transparency (And Why It Matters)
summary
Company publishes a career progression document with salary ranges, keeps a shared spreadsheet with a historical salary tab and a repeating task to update it, and runs a pre-offer letter session so candidates pick their level and supply realistic minimums. After three years posting ranges and doing quarterly reviews the practice attracts more applicants, helps managers spot underpaid people, and surfaces one real objection from the lowest‑paid employee, so the team adds flexible compensation (extra vacation versus higher base) and ongoing documentation.
