EOWA Business Case for Pay Equity Improve operational efficiency: reduce stress, improve morale and increase productivity

An organisation that suffers high staff turnover and perceptions of unfairness around employment matters, including pay equity, is likely to experience low staff morale, stressed employees and reduced productivity. Alternatively, employees who feel valued through equitable treatment are more likely to enter into productive relationships with each other and with their customers/clients and as such enhance teamwork and productivity.

Transparent and equitable pay systems:

• Are more likely to generate trust and confidence among employees,

• Are less likely to lead to cynicism and perceptions of unfairness,

• Will increase employee loyalty and morale,

• Will contribute to productivity, teamwork and operational efficiency, and

• Will assist in the retention of staff.
