Designing Fair Organizations: The Case For Pay Transparency

Tomasz Obloj, Associate Professor of Strategy and Weimer Faculty Fellow at Kelley School of Business, Indiana University

Companies are facing a crescendo of calls for greater pay transparency. Although the type and scope of initiatives vary greatly across states, countries, and regions, organizations and policy makers are enacting laws and processes designed to increase the visibility of pay practices. But is this transparency a good thing? Is it yielding desirable outcomes for individuals and organizations? Is it making organizations more fair? As with any key strategic decision, there are trade-offs. During this session we will focus on: discussing what current evidence tells us about the consequences of pay transparency practices, understanding what the trade-offs are, and seeing if you – key HR decision makers – are willing to make your firms more transparent.
