What would happen if you knew exactly what your colleagues made--and they knew your pay too? Disclosing salaries at work has long been taboo, but a few companies are opening up the books, letting employees in on details of employees’ pay, equity and bonuses. For these radically open companies, the idea is that people may work more efficiently when freed of doubts about salary. Transparent pay may also help close gender and racial pay gaps. This transparency is partly driven by younger workers used to detailing their lives online, and who are bringing this self-disclosure into the office. Learn how several firms operate in this new era of openness — and see if this management style is right for your firm.
