Adapted Academic Discussion
Human Resource Management · Dr. Chen
This week, we will be discussing workplace fairness and how companies build trust with job applicants. Some businesses have started publishing clear salary ranges for each open position before interviews begin. I would like to know your perspective on this approach. Should companies publish salary ranges for all positions before interviewing candidates? Why or why not? In your response, explain your position and add a relevant reason or example that moves the discussion forward.

I support this practice because it can prevent unequal pay offers. If applicants know the salary range in advance, they can decide whether the job is worth applying for, and companies cannot quietly offer lower pay to people who are less confident in negotiations.

I understand the goal, but I think salary transparency may create new problems. Workers may focus only on pay and ignore other important benefits, such as training or flexible schedules. Also, managers may lose the flexibility to reward special experience.
