RubyConf Mini: How We Implemented Salary Transparency (And Why It Matters) by Hilary Stohs Krause

However, just because folks want something doesn’t mean getting there will be smooth sailing (as we discovered when we instituted wage transparency three years ago). In this talk, we’ll discuss why salary transparency matters, ways it can manifest, and how to pitch it to the rest of your company.
