Why staff should know every other employee's salary

Although this age is one of constant sharing – on various social media platforms we’re happy to share our emotions, thoughts and intimate moments – discussion of salary details is still taboo.

In the US, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has revealed that the pay gap increases to even more between white workers and their black or Hispanic counterparts.

As US Equal Pay Day took place yesterday, and with increasing pressure on UK workers to implement equitable pay structures, there is more appetite than ever before to close existing pay gaps.
