Cornerstone On Demand

How often do you talk about pay with your employees? It's likely only a few times a year: when they get a raise, bonus or promotion. And during those limited times you discuss pay, the context around the conversation often amounts to little more than, "You're doing a great job." The lack of communication around compensation leads employees to make their own assumptions about their worth — and how their paychecks stack up to their peers.
