Benefits of pay transparency under the spotlight

Pay transparency, while not an easy option, will enable a more strategic approach to be taken to closing the gender pay gap. That’s the view of Sheila Wild, Head of Earnings Inequalities at the Equality and Human Rights Commission, writing in the latest edition of IDS Pay Report.
