Pay transparency has been the gold standard for fighting all kinds of pay inequity. Recent research by PayScale claims that pay transparency does, in fact, solve the gender wage gap. I spoke with an expert about the findings, as well as some of her own research, and she believes pay transparency must be part of a package of solutions designed to fight inequity to be truly effective.
That expert was CHRO Francesca Bossi of training software company Docebo. She does agree with PayScale’s findings, saying, “I really believe that transparency is the key to minimize this gap.” But she also cautions that a critical part of what makes the effort to close the gender pay gap successful is training.
