Hoeveel word jy betaal? Hoe vergelyk dit met die mense saam met wie jy werk? Jy behoort te weet en hulle ook. So sê bestuursnavorser David Burkus. In hierdie praatjie bevraagteken Burkus ons kulturele aannames oor die geheimhouding van salarisse en voer oortuigende redes aan vir hoekom dit werknemers, organisasies en die samelewing kan bevoordeel om salarisse bekend te maak.

Behoort jy te weet?
00:38
NoticeKennisgewing, it's a little uncomfortableongemaklik for me
to even askvra you those questionsvrae.
10
26961
3977
Let op, dis selfs effens ongemaklik vir my
om jou hierdie vrae te vra.
00:42
But admiterken it -- you kindsoort of want to know.
11
30962
3150
Maar erken dit -- jy wil so half weet.
00:46
MostDie meeste of us are uncomfortableongemaklik with the ideaidee
of broadcastingBroadcasting our salarysalaris.
12
34993

Die meeste van ons is ongemaklik
met die idee om ons salaris uit te saai.
00:50
We're not supposedveronderstel to tell our neighborsbure,
13
38542
2149
Ons moenie ons bure vertel nie
00:52
and we're definitelybeslis not supposedveronderstel
to tell our officekantoor neighborsbure.
14
40715
3192
en ons moet beslis nie ons bure
by die kantoor vertel nie.
00:55
The assumedaanvaar reasonrede is that if everybodyalmal
knewgeweet what everybodyalmal got paidbetaal,
15
43931
3514
Ons neem aan die rede is dat as almal weet
wat almal anders betaal word,
00:59
then all hellhel would breakbreek looselos.
16

there mightmag even be a fewpaar people who quitafsluit.
18

’n paar mense sal dalk selfs bedank.
Maar sê nou geheimhouding is
eintlik die rede vir al daai getwis?
01:05
But what if secrecygeheimhouding is actuallyeintlik
the reasonrede for all that strifetwis?
19
53621
3779
01:09
And what would happengebeur
if we removedverwyder that secrecygeheimhouding?
20

En wat sal gebeur as ons
daardie geheimhouding wegvat?
01:12
What if opennessopenheid actuallyeintlik increasedverhoog

01:30
And the questionvraag of paybetaal keepshou comingkom up.
27

kom aanhoudend ter sprake.
01:33
And the answersantwoorde keep surprisingverbasend.
28
81105
2450
En die antwoorde verras aanhoudend.
Dit blyk dat salaris-deursigtigheid --
01:36
It turnsdraaie out that paybetaal transparencydeursigtigheid --
29
84458
1807
om salarisse openlik

As mense nie weet hoe hul salaris
met hul gelykes s’n vergelyk nie
01:45
When people don't know how theirhulle paybetaal
comparesvergelyk to theirhulle peers'portuurgroep se,
33
93362
3099
01:48
they're more likelywaarskynlik to feel underpaidskeld
34
96485
1816
is hulle meer geneig om onderbetaal
01:50
and maybe even discriminatedgediskrimineer againstteen.
35
98325
1935
en dalk selfs teen gediskrimineer te voel.
01:52
Do you want to work at a placeplek

37
103245
2804
dat jy onderbetaal

01:58
But keepingbewaring salariessalarisse secretgeheim
does exactlypresies that,
38
106697
2510
Maar om salarisse geheim
te hou doen presies dit,
02:01
and it's a practicepraktyk
as oldou as it is commonalgemene,
39
109231
2883
en dis ’n praktyk so oud
soos wat dit algemeen is,
02:04

56
152315
3490
met jou salaris sommer op jou

Maar hoekom wil ’n maatskapy
salarisbesprekings ontmoedig?
02:49
But why would a companymaatskappy even want
to discourageontmoedig salarysalaris discussionsbesprekings?
57

02:52
Why do some people go alongsaam with it,

58

Hoekom stem party daarmee saam

It turnsdraaie out that in additionDaarbenewens

60
168974
3303
salaris-geheimhouding eintlik

In só ’n onderhandelingsituasie

En in besprekings oor aanstellings,

03:18
an employerwerkgewer can use that secrecygeheimhouding
to savered a lot of moneygeld.
66
186321

dat inligting-asimmetrie tot

03:46
And I think we're almostbyna there.
75
214095
2014
En ek dink ons is amper daar.
Dis hoekom:
03:48
Here'sHier is why:
76
216133
1166
Eerstens het meeste werknemers
geen idee hoe hul salaris vergelyk nie.
03:49
first, mostdie meeste employeeswerknemers have no ideaidee
how theirhulle paybetaal comparesvergelyk to theirhulle peers'portuurgroep se.
77

03:58
two-thirdstwee-derdes of everyonealmal who is paidbetaal

04:05
And of everybodyalmal who feltgevoel

hulle word onderbetaal,
het 60% gesê hulle

04:16
If you were partdeel of this surveyopname,
what would you say?
85
244200
2460
Wat sou jy in hierdie opname gesê het?
Word jy onderbetaal?
04:18
Are you underpaidskeld?
86
246684
1276
Wel, wag -- hoe weet jy eers?
04:19
Well, wait -- how do you even know,
87
247984
2325
Want jy mag nie daaroor praat nie.

94

04:42
This is where that 77 centssent

95

Dit is waar daardie 77 sent

04:47
where salariessalarisse are pinnedVasgepen

97

101
283988

waaroor ekonome stry
om te kontrolleer of nie.
04:59
If we really want to closenaby
the gendergeslag wageloon gapgaping,
102
287264
2672
As ons die salarisgaping
tussen die geslagte wil oorbrug,
05:01
maybe we should startbegin
by openingopening up the payrollsalarisstelsel.
103
289960
2488
moet ons dalk begin
om die loonlys oop te maak.
05:04
If this is what totaltotale
marketmark failuremislukking lookslyk like,
104
292864
3222
As dit is hoe totale markmislukking lyk,
dan bly openheid die enigste manier
om regverdigheid te verseker.
05:08
then opennessopenheid remainsoorblyfsels
the only way to ensureverseker fairnessregverdigheid.
105
296110
3268
05:12
Now, I realizebesef that lettingverhuring people
know what you make
106
300274
2501
Ek besef dat om mense
te laat weet wat jy verdien
dalk ongemaklik mag voel,
05:14
mightmag feel uncomfortableongemaklik,
107
302799
1646
maar is dit nie minder ongemaklik
05:16
but isn't it lessminder uncomfortableongemaklik
108

05:18
than always wonderingwonder
if you're beingwese discriminatedgediskrimineer againstteen,
109
306008
2880
as om altyd te wonder of jy

05:20
or if you wifevrou or your daughterdogter
or your sistersuster is beingwese paidbetaal unfairlyonbillik?
110

05:25
OpennessOopheid remainsoorblyfsels the bestbeste way

111
313353

Openheid bly die beste manier

05:29
and paybetaal transparencydeursigtigheid does that.
112
317317

en salaris-deursigtigheid doen dit.
05:31
That's why entrepreneurialentrepreneuriese leadersleiers

113

Dis hoekom korporatiewe
