NOV WEEK 1 - Skills Group Initiative - Should We Be Transparent About Salary?

[60ee40a8-988e-49d2-80e3-7c865723e2fe]

Everyone’s talking about the pay gap in Malaysia, and I came across an interesting video on pay transparency. Did you know 80% of people think pay transparency makes a company more attractive? But 57% worry it could trigger "pay wars" among colleagues. Is this a valid reason to avoid transparency?​

Should companies in Malaysia adopt pay transparency? Do the benefits outweigh the risks? Let’s have an open conversation! 🗣️

Interesting topic! Memang betul, pay transparency boleh buat orang lagi attracted, tapi risiko “pay wars” tu real juga. Maybe company boleh slowly implement dengan cara yang tak terlalu obvious?

[ROY]

Pay transparency memang ada pro & cons. Boleh bantu tackle pay gap, tapi kalau tak handle betul-betul, boleh buat colleagues rasa tak puas hati. Susah juga nak kata kalau kat Malaysia.

[ELS]

Good point! Pay transparency boleh encourage fairness, tapi betul juga takut ada rasa tak puas hati kalau gaji tak sama. Maybe perlu ada policy yang clear?

[JSM]

Nice topic! Kalau ada transparency, at least kita tahu berapa market rate, tapi kena ada guideline jelas supaya tak jadi isu antara colleagues. Ada yang pro, ada yang con.

[NDA]

Memang tricky! Transparency boleh bantu kurangkan gender pay gap, tapi ada risiko juga. Rasanya depends on company culture and how they manage it.
