A recent McKinsey study found that 40% of employees are considering quitting within the next three to six months. Even more alarming—18% are almost certain to leave.
But why are so many people ready to walk away?
???? 54% of employees don’t feel valued by their organization
???? 52% don’t feel valued by their managers
???? 51% don’t feel a sense of belonging at work
The common thread? A lack of trust.
Transparency Builds a Stronger Workplace
When employees feel left in the dark—about pay, promotions, or company direction—they disengage. Transparency is the antidote. When an organisation embraces transparency, employees feel:
✅ Clear Compensation = Employees Feel Valued and Secure
Hidden pay structures breed distrust. When payroll is transparent, employees trust that they’re being compensated fairly—reducing frustration and turnover.
✅ Open Communication = Employees Feel Heard and Respected
Managers who communicate clearly about goals, feedback, and career growth make employees feel valued—not overlooked.
✅ Self-Service HR = Employees Feel in Control and Empowered
A lack of access to basic HR information—leave balances, payslips, policies—makes employees feel disconnected. A transparent HR system gives them the clarity and autonomy they need.
Transparency Isn’t Just a Value—It’s a Retention Strategy
By embracing transparency in payroll, HR processes, and communication, companies can create a workplace where employees feel valued, included, and engaged.
