Do employees feel valued?
www.payscale.com
We discovered that transparent conversa+ons about money can actually mi+gate low pay. So, if an employer pays lower than the market average for a posi+on, but communicates clearly about the reasons for the smaller paycheck, 82% of employees we surveyed s+ll felt sa+sfied with their work.

Conversely, we found overpaying employees in an effort to retain them without having this larger conversa+on about pay doesn’t ensure they are more sa+sfied.
