«Companies around the world have been increasingly adopting pay transparency policies and practices as a means of narrowing the gender pay gap and fostering an engaged and positive working environment that builds trust. Pay transparency can help companies achieve these goals — but it can also have unintended consequences.
Pay transparency refers to a pay communications policy in which a company voluntarily provides pay-related information to employees — for example, about the process of the pay system (process transparency) and actual pay levels or ranges (outcome transparency), or even an open policy for employees to freely share information about their pay (communications transparency).
Why is pay transparency important? For one thing, it facilitates attracting and retaining talent, as new applicants to the workforce are demanding increased transparency with regard to pay. According to PayScale, if the process is not transparent, employees — particularly younger ones — may be more likely to leave a company within six months. For another, there can be legal implications for companies that fail to meet relevant transparency compliance standards. Moreover, public news of pay inequality at companies with more secretive pay communication practices can seriously damage their reputation, as was the case at BBC and Google. Finally, studies indicate that, at least in the short term, pay transparency may have some important benefits for employees and their employers. For example, pay transparency has positive impacts on employees’ perceptions of trust, fairness, and job satisfaction and has been found to boost individual task performance.
However, there may a dark side to pay transparency as well. Our recent global study of pay transparency involving employees in the U.S. and UK, as well as over 100 Chinese firms, suggests that there are some key caveats to consider. Here are the unintended consequences to be aware of — and how to avoid them.

PARCEIROS PELAS ARTES
«A career-spanning survey of a pivotal figure in modern art
‘With an apple, I will astonish Paris’, Cezanne once claimed. Leaving his native Aix-en-Provence for the French capital in his 20s, this is precisely what he did. Cezanne’s still lifes, landscapes and paintings of bathers were to give licence to generations of artists to break the rule book. The history of painting was never to be the same again.
Focusing on the many tensions and contradictions in Cezanne’s work, this exhibition seeks to understand the artist in his own context, as an ambitious young painter proudly from the Mediterranean South, yet eager to make it in metropolitan Paris. Featuring many works shown for the first time in the UK, the show will follow his struggle between seeking official recognition and joining the emerging impressionists before relentlessly pursuing his own unique language. We will witness an artist wrestling with what it means to be a modern painter while remaining deeply sceptical about the world he lived in, from political unrest to a continually accelerating way of life.
The EY Exhibition: Cezanne is presented in the Eyal Ofer Galleries. The exhibition is part of The EY Tate Arts Partnership. Supported by the Huo Family Foundation (UK) Limited, with additional support from Tate International Council, Tate Patrons and Tate Members. Exhibition organised by Tate Modern and the Art Institute of Chicago». Saiba mais.

«Planetary Homeostasis / Technology can expand the short-term horizon of our Paleolithic survival instinct»
« The future may be unpredictable, but it is not unknowable. We can’t pinpoint where the next raging forest fire or record temperature will hit. But we know they will happen. This summer, cool Britannia is most unexpectedly busting the thermometer. The fire this time is visiting a broad swath of Mediterranean countries and, as usual, scorching California’s most treasured natural landmarks.

De lá: «(...) A STAGES – Sustainable Theatre Alliance for a Green Environmental Shift recebeu dois milhões de euros em cofinanciamento da União Europeia para testar, ao longo de quatro anos, “soluções radicais para os maiores desafios impostos pela crise climática”.
