Winning in the Transparency Era
Workplace equity has taken on new urgency in today’s era of public salary ranges, pay gap reporting laws, voluntary disclosures by leading global companies, and investor scorecards. Every measure of how you value your people is now on display. This includes pay, performance, promotions, and the unadjusted pay gap.
The unadjusted pay gap (a metric composed of both pay and opportunity equity) is also at the epicenter of rapidly accelerating transparency legislation in the U.S. and across the EU. The EU Equal Pay and Transparency Directive, in particular, sets a new standard for transparency by requiring companies to examine and report on pay equity, career progression, and pay gaps starting in 2027.
Companies are under tremendous pressure to disclose their unadjusted gap and articulate why they hire, pay, advance, and terminate employees. And CEOs and CHROs need to decide how to respond. Will you embrace transparency so you can build trust and become an employer of choice? Or will you wait until you’re backed into the corner and forced to expose pay and promotion data?
The good news is that embracing transparency drives better business outcomes. Transparency drives trust. Trust fuels culture. And companies that are “great places to work” outperform others by three times. This is the path that our customers are on – and they’re able to achieve their goals with fewer resources and in less time by using Syndio’s workplace equity platform.
Syndio’s mission to find, fix, and prevent gaps in pay and opportunity has never been more critical. We are not just creating solutions; we are defining the future of workplace equity – and in doing so, helping our customers address the complexities of the modern workplace and win in the transparency era.
