YES<\/strong>. Salary is an important issue in the world of work. Lifting this taboo would remove a great deal of frustration among employees, who are often reluctant to broach the subject and swallow their dissatisfaction when they feel that their work is not paid at its fair value. What's more, transparency strengthens the bond of trust between employer and employee, a bond that is essential to the long-term survival of a company. An employer confident enough to publish the salaries it awards internally is an employer who is sure of its choices. It therefore inspires confidence not only in its employees, but also in itself. In this sense, transparency forces him to rely on solid, factual arguments, since he may have to justify the amounts involved. Ultimately, transparency leads to greater equality within an organization, and a reasonable, reasoned approach to setting salaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
