A transparent salary system helps achieve goals
08.06.2025
Today's working world increasingly demands transparency and fairness, especially so, when it comes to salary policy. Employees are no longer silent salary earners who simply "take what they are given." They are aware, they compare, they ask questions and they want to understand – why do I get this much and why does he get that other amount? If the answer to this question is vague or non-existent, it not only causes resentment, but also builds distrust and alienation from the organization's goals. This, in turn, makes it more difficult for any organization to achieve its goals

At the beginning of May, the Baltic countries celebrate Mother’s Day – and with it, the role of mothers in the labour market comes into sharper focus. A recurring question is how time spent at home with children is perceived in job interviews, and whether parental leave should be mentioned in a CV. On the one hand, parental leave naturally means an absence from direct job duties, and if the leave was recent, employers may carry the bias that the parent will frequently be away due to childcare responsibilities. On the other hand, parental leave is still a form of experience – one that helps to develop a wide range of valuable skills applicable in the modern labour market.
