Money talks | The keys to unlocking a culture of pay transparency

Traditionally, workplaces have fostered a taboo around the subject of money.

Glassdoor 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.

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

The findings showed that 75% of respondents say employees never discuss their salary with them. Just 17% of employees discuss their salary on a regular basis, while only eight percent of respondents say they have open discussions with employees about their pay.
