Show me the Money! - Discovering Open Salaries

The saying goes that money makes the world go around. But we think honesty and transparency are pretty key to a great world as well.

Come along to hear an honest, open panel discussion about how three different businesses have adopted an open salaries model, and how it's being used in today's tech space.

We'll help you understand the great (and not so great) aspects of open salaries, its impact on employee empowerment and business transparency. Bring your questions!
