What happens when salaries are made public?
In February this year, when demand for high-skilled software engineers and developers was at its height in India, two start-up founders published the salaries of their new hires online. It got a lot of attention. Many were surprised and even shocked at the lengths that companies were willing to go to attract talent to their firms.
Six months later, in today’s pilot episode of our brand new article is Cost to Company, we tell you what happened next. It’s a story about what led to this experiment, what publishing a salary does to a business, and more profound implications around pay transparency and pay equity in India’s biggest companies. You should listen to it on our website www.multimediastudio.net - If you wish to add it to your favourite player, here is the RSS Link. I think you’ll love it.
Unfortunately, it’s not on our mobile app yet, but we’re working on getting it there soon. Sorry about that. But now that you are here, let me tell you a bit about this article, why we started it, and what you can expect going forward???? Cost to Company is a our weekly article about how careers are changing in India. We live in a time of accelerated hiring, rapid layoffs, and shaky career ladders. So many questions about navigating your way through modern workplaces, how to get ahead, and what’s really going on. And nobody seems to be talking about this.
Every Wednesday's, we try to find an answers. And to do this, we turn to the people experiencing this first-hand. This includes CEOs, executives, leaders…but most importantly, you - our The MMS subscribers .
I’m sure you’ll get to know better as you keep listening to Cost of Company every week, but you can read more about them here and here. Oh, and one last thing. Cost to Company is just the first of our new slate of our articles.
We have several more titles in the works right now, and over the next few weeks, I can’t wait to share them with you. Finally, our ARTICLE's are free to review, but not for long I guess as the inflation of our country moving north day after day.
Very soon, they’ll go behind our paywall and will be available only for subscribers. We’ll also launch some new plans, so keep an eye out for that. This is a new beginning. We will make a fair bunch of mistakes, apologize for it & we count on you to keep showing them to us. Especially the ones that are hard to see. Please share your feedback, suggest more topics we should cover, or let us know what’s happening at your workplace!
