Pay transparency | 75% of staff 'too embarrassed' to talk to HR about salary

Along with mental health concerns and financial worries – discussing salary in the workplace remains something of a taboo.

Recent research shows that workers across the UK feel too embarrassed to raise the subject of pay with their employer – with just 25% feeling comfortable talking about money.

The study by job site Glassdoor also found that only one in four employees have shared their salary details with a colleague.

Peterborough-based Anne Corder Recruitment has conducted its own online poll into the subject of salary secrecy among local and regional HR professionals and employers.
