As the job market evolves, the idea of spending an entire career with one employer is becoming rare. Employees often seek new challenges when their current roles don’t align with personal ambitions, creating a retention dilemma for businesses.

92% of job seekers are more likely to apply when a salary is listed in the job posting. Yet organizations take different approaches:

  • Some choose not to publicize or take alternative routes.
  • Others set clear criteria for salary increases.
  • A few shares salary banding structures.
  • And some go so far as to publish all employee salaries.

Employees want clarity and an understanding of how pay decisions are made, and pay reviews deliver exactly that. By providing the transparency your employees expect, pay reviews offer an effective way for organizations to build trust and reduce turnover.
