Does pay secrecy truly foster trust within an organization, or does it fuel speculation and discontent? Can organizations ensure fairness and belonging if their pay structures are built on the shifting sands of external benchmarks, or is the key to lasting trust and engagement found within their own data? And are employee well-being programs the missing puzzle piece in the total rewards strategy, or just a passing trend?

Join us on this episode of HR Debatable as we dive deep into these pressing questions. We bring together two leading voices in the HR sphere: Sarah Maximilian, a visionary Founding Member at New Pay Collective, and Rachel Gibbs, a seasoned Reward Consultant at Merities Consulting.

The statements debated:

1. “Pay secrecy leads to greater trust.”
2. “Internal equity is more important than external benchmark data.”
3. “Employee well-being programs are essential components of total rewards.”
