When I meet with employees to discuss their concerns the subject of pay sometimes comes up. I say sometimes because it appears if people perceive they are paid fairly, it’s never an issue. However, if some inequities are present, it will come up, sometimes with a vengeance. While I’ve read scholarly works on how pay isn’t why people leave companies and that other factors are more important, my experience strongly suggests that pay may be in fact, the most keenly felt factor if it’s neglected.
