SHRM supports a vibrant workplace culture by urging employers to take the lead in creating a positive environment. Organizations need to put in place strong anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies. In addition, SHRM promotes transparency in the work environment by encouraging employers to have open discussions with their employees about how pay decisions are arrived at. Finally, SHRM believes in public policies that support pay audits in order to encourage employers to conduct self-evaluations about pay and address any compensation disparities.
