Management: Do you think it's good or bad for startups to publicize employee salaries?

Joy Broto Nath , Global Corporate Trainer & Strategist answered:

The salary part is for HR department but there must be a clear mission on why you are making the salaries public.
Many tech workers, especially engineers, find salary negotiations stressful. In past start-ups, he had sometimes been desperate to get an app finished and paid way too much to get workers on board quickly. Salary transparency is the single best protection against gender bias, racial bias, or orientation bias». That is why some states now require that government contractors report gender gaps in how they pay their employees. Although many governments make workers’ salary information available, fully transparent private-sector companies still are rare enough to garner headlines. A big challenge of implementing pay transparency is having to explain differences among salaries to head off perceptions of unfairness. As much as every company might want to be a model of consistency and equality, the reality is that people’s salaries can vary widely, and for reasons that may be difficult to explain. In addition, pay transparency does not always give the whole story.
