Are You Getting Paid Fairly? New Startup Makes It Easy To Find Out

Asking someone how much they make is still a taboo question, yet it’s one thing everyone is curious about. Even within your own company people wonder how much each employee is making. It’s only natural.

“I could tell you I had cancer and it would be dramatically more uncomfortable if I asked what you were making at your job,” said Comparably‘s cofounder and CEO Jason Nazar, “We’ve built a platform to show what’s your market value, where you rank in the company and how you compare in happiness. If you think about two big things people are focused on at work, it’s how good is my experience and how much am I making.”

Employees of any company can sign up on Comparably free of cost. The website will then ask them their role and annual salary and then it will be added to the website’s platform. Comparably uses company and recruiter insights, publicly available records and other things to show the user exactly where they fall as far as their salaries and titles are concerned. It will also allow users to check what kind of benefits and experiences are good or bad compared to other companies. The goal of Comparably according to its CEO is to make every company worth loyalty.

What does that mean to you as a business owner?

Your employees just as much as your customers have the power to voice their opinion on public platforms. Imagine having horrible employee reviews on glassdoor for your consulting firm. Would a potential client sign up with you after reading that your employees dread working there? Probably not. Measuring the satisfaction of your employees is vital in maintaining company morale and spirit. It’s not just about seasonal company parties and outings. Survey your employees constantly and ask for feedback. Is there something you can do better to keep them? Measure the satisfaction of your customers as much as you measure the employee satisfaction. While it might seem like the two don’t belong together or don’t share common grounds, they do! Recent study showed that employees that feel like they “have purpose” scored higher in happiness scores.

QuickTapSurvey works with HR departments that use our iPad kiosk survey app to ask employees daily questions in regards to employee satisfaction or questions regarding the work space. Employees that feel included in the decision process are likely to be happier and feel part of “the bigger picture”. Next time you are thinking of renaming your meeting rooms think about including every employee and ask them their opinion!!
