As a movement, pay transparency has grown from a fringe idea into a standard regimen for compensation teams globally.

If pay transparency were a stock you could have bought 20 years ago, it would look a lot like Apple (up 108,850%) or Nvidia (up 129,131%) today. Back then, both companies were underrated and seen as niche and maybe even risky. But if you had invested early, you would have seen exponential power-law returns. Pay transparency is on the same trajectory, both in terms of the amount of data that is being produced and the returns for employers who proactively define their compensation strategies in the era of pay transparency.

Pay transparency is no longer theoretical. It is law in major U.S. states such as New York, California, Colorado, and Illinois, where employers are now required to publish salary ranges in job postings. For HR leaders in Europe and in U.S. states where disclosure is not yet mandatory, this trend is a glimpse of the near future. The data is clear: transparency reshapes recruitment outcomes, boosts employer credibility, and closes wage gaps. Companies that prepare now will find themselves not just compliant but ahead of competitors in attracting and retaining the best talent.
