🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A salary transparency platform that allows employees to anonymously report raises and salary bands by role and location to identify pay gaps.
- A negotiation coaching service that provides scripts for employees to address pay inequity without appearing confrontational.
- A policy template for companies to standardize annual cost-of-living adjustments to prevent arbitrary manager-led salary decisions.
