In fact, it&#8217;s becoming more and more important to employees, compensation leaders, and the C-suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But ensuring fair compensation goes well beyond your pay gap or pay transparency. To truly ensure fair pay, you need a strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In this guide, we provide step-by-step guidance on how to launch a successful fair compensation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"understand-fair-pay\">1. Understand fair pay in your organization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">To launch a fair compensation strategy, you must first understand what it means to the organization and how your employees feel about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">What does \u201cfair compensation\u201d mean to your organization?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Providing fair compensation, or fair pay, means paying employees equal pay for equal work. That is, it means eliminating any pay differences where employees are undertaking equal work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">However, fair compensation can also mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Paying a living wage<\/strong>. Many companies across the US, especially those hiring remote employees, are adjusting their pay based on where an employee lives to account cost of living differences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Supporting employees through benefits<\/strong>. In addition to pay, employers may compete for talent by offering additional high-value benefits to support and employee&#8217;s financial and overall well-being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Knowing what leaders and employees think fair compensation is (and isn&#8217;t) will help guide future efforts and communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Employee perceptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/newsroom\/11-28-22-gartner-hr-research-finds-only-thirty-two-percent-of-employees-believe-their-pay-is-fair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gartner&#8217;s survey<\/a>, only 32% of employees think their pay is fair. Unfortunately, employee sentiments like these, even if inaccurate, can lead to increased turnover. It can also undermine your fair compensation strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">To gauge employee sentiments, consider asking questions about fair pay in an engagement survey or pulse survey. This will ensure the organization is aware of what employees think fair pay is and how employees feel about their pay and the organization&#8217;s practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-of-fair-compensation\">2. Communicate the benefits of fair compensation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Communicating the benefits of fair compensation is essential to your strategy because it helps prepare the organization for change. It also helps attract and retain top talent. By sharing how you&#8217;re ensuring fair pay, you can enhance the organization&#8217;s reputation among potential candidates and existing employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Communications like these will show that the organization is transparent and committed to addressing inequality. In the current labor market, this can be a key differentiator from potential competitors for talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"buy-in-from-stakeholders\">3. Secure buy-in from key stakeholders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For fair compensation plans to flourish, you&#8217;ll need employees from across the business to commit to the strategy. This includes all key stakeholders, including compensation analysts, HR business partners, line managers and global leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Organizations can ensure commitment from those needed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\">Identifying a senior level champion for leading the strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Securing top-level ownership and accountability over the strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Making conversations about fair pay the norm internally and externally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"action-plan\">4. Create a focused action plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Securing buy-in from leadership shows that your organization is committed to having a fair workplace. It enables the organization to send a strong message of commitment, both internally and externally. However, while commitment might be fundamental, you also need a focused and structured action plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">To establish a plan, organizations can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Join a network<\/strong>. Joining a network will allow leaders to exchange best practices and raise the organization\u2019s profile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Build relationships with organizations and press<\/strong>. Building relationships with other organizations that represent what you stand for will develop a good reputation for your organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Find partners to assist with fair compensation efforts<\/strong>. Partners, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightmine.com\/uk\/products\/pay-equity-analytics\/\">pay equity software provider<\/a> or law firm, will help you execute your strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Establish a timeline and goals<\/strong>. Launching a fair compensation strategy is a long-term project. A timeline and specific goals will provide a framework for carrying out audits, analyzing data and making changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Review the organization&#8217;s budget<\/strong>. A budget can help you prepare for future pay adjustments that you may need to make to ensure fair pay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Consider where the organization operates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As part of your action plan, ensure that the organization&#8217;s actions reflect the law, demographics and internal business requirements where it operates. For example, at the federal level, employers must comply with the Equal Pay Act of 1963. At the state level, employers must also comply with a network of pay transparency laws \u2014 which have varying requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"analyze-data\">5. Analyze data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Once you&#8217;ve established an action plan, you can gather data by performing a pay equity audit. This will help inform any needed pay adjustments and future pay decisions. Analyzing data will help you understand where the organization currently stands. Specifically, it can help you discover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\">Instances of unequal pay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Pay gaps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Pay outliers and inconsistencies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If you&#8217;ve invested in pay equity software, you&#8217;ll also be able to use the data to model pay adjustments and future changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Accessing the right data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">While data on employee gender has traditionally been easier to collect, organizations should extend this to other workforce characteristics such as race, ethnicity or disability status. This will provide a more complete picture of any pay inequities in your organization. You can try acquiring this data by inviting employees to self-declare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When you&#8217;ve acquired the right data, you can identify any barriers to fair pay by searching for patterns at key touchpoints in the employee journey. For example, you might find that initial pay offers for similar roles differ based on gender, race or disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">To understand what may be contributing to unfair pay, consider acquiring data to monitor patterns in or among:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\">Job applicants and recruitment pools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Initial pay offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Promotions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Employee turnover.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Job titles, job roles and pay levels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Workplace flexibility access and use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Job roles before and after parental leave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Employee retention after parental leave.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Use data to tell the story<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The organization can build a great deal of trust with employees by regularly communicating about fair pay efforts. Regular communication that leverage data can help employees understand what the business is trying to achieve. For example, during the annual salary review, your organization should disclose how it&#8217;s using the budget to ensure pay is competitive <em>and<\/em> equitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The communication plan should also leverage data to celebrate fair compensation successes. Showing how the organization has reached its goals demonstrates its true commitment to fair pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"act-on-results\">6. Act on the results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">After analyzing the pay data, it&#8217;s time to take action. This may include making pay adjustments, creating action plans to close gaps and disclosing pay gaps internally or externally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Implementing changes can be a difficult piece of the fair compensation strategy execute. You&#8217;ll need to consider budget, the company&#8217;s reputation, potential liability and more. So, be sure to set clear priorities and consult with counsel when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For similar reasons, publishing the pay gap can also be a challenge. If you disclose the pay gap, provide a narrative that demonstrates the organization&#8217;s commitment to equality. This will show that equality is important to the organization and support the employer brand and reputation. And before disclosing, agree on an action plan to make changes in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Together, the narrative and action plan will provide context. They&#8217;ll also provide insight into the drivers behind the gap and the progress the company has made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"monitor-progress\">7. Monitor progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">At a local and global level, leadership should undertake a regular review of their commitments to fair pay. This includes assessing the organization&#8217;s position and progress against any targets or goals. The review can also include an action plan for future work or areas of focus. And again, stakeholders should communicate results and plans across the business and potentially more widely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Implementing a fair compensation strategy has proven benefits. It helps attract and retain top talent, foster equity at work and ensure compliance. However, implementing a fair compensation strategy may take time and will inevitably have its challenges. To make your strategy a success, be prepared to continue analyzing data, making incremental changes and practicing transparency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column lnrs-hide-block-on-mobile is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--secondary-gray);border-left-width:2px;padding-left:10px;flex-basis:30%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained wp-container-3 is-position-sticky\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-secondary-gray-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-db4c44a6 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:14px;padding-top:10px;padding-right:10px;padding-bottom:10px;padding-left:10px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4b827052 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:5px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400\" class=\"\">In this resource:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3\" class=\"\"><a href=\"#understand-fair-pay\">Understand fair pay in your organization<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3\" class=\"\"><a href=\"#benefits-of-fair-compensation\">Communicate the benefits<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3\" class=\"\"><a href=\"#buy-in-from-stakeholders\">Secure buy-in from key stakeholders<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3\" class=\"\"><a href=\"#action-plan\">Create a focused action plan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3\" class=\"\"><a href=\"#analyze-data\">Analyze data<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3\" class=\"\"><a href=\"#act-on-results\">Act on the results<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:5px;font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3\" class=\"\"><a href=\"#monitor-progress\">Monitor progress<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-bleach-white-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-a36fa716 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:14px;padding-top:10px;padding-right:15px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:15px\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigate HR complexity with confidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">With Brightmine, you can build powerful people strategies, implement best practices and set your organization up for a brighter future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Learn how our tools, resources and automation can empower you and your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/us\/solutions\/?intcmp=cta|blog|solutions|learn-more\" style=\"border-radius:25px\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group lnrs-hide-block-on-mobile has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad1af2a0 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-secondary-gray-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-secondary-gray-background-color has-background\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Read more articles on AI:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"wp-block-post-template is-layout-flow wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-ea1fff98 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-flow\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-11908 resources type-resources status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry category-webinars topic-ai-in-hr\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(14px, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.274), 16px);line-height:1.3;text-decoration:underline;
