Can you explain what you do in one sentence?
How long have you been doing this?
Do you like what you do?
Do you feel fairly compensated for what you do?
What do you want to do next in your career?
What do you want to be paid in five years?
If a stranger asked you these questions, how would you answer? There is a TikTok creator, Salary Transparent Street, with one million followers who stands on the street asking passersby these questions. The recordings are posted on TikTok, and each video has 10,000 plus views. Many of the videos have a million or two million views.
If you think pay transparency is a fad, you’re wrong.
People are sharing this information with strangers. They are okay with being recorded answering these questions. How open and transparent do you think they want their employer and manager to be related to pay?
Yes, we should talk if you are an employer and don’t have a proactive plan in place to communicate salary ranges, how you make pay decisions, and your pay philosophy.
Stop pretending these conversations aren’t happening.
Do you want to be part of the conversation? Or are you going to opt out and let your employees decide if you are paying them fairly without your involvement?
