I’m Alistair and I help startups and small businesses build trust through fair and transparent pay
Compensation is often shrouded in secrecy. A black box of subjective assessments and random figures that are difficult to verify which leads to frustration, confusion, and a lack of trust.
❓ “How can I get a pay rise?”
❓ “How are our salary benchmarks calculated?”
❓ “Why is X making more than me when we’re doing the same job?”
❓ “Why don’t we display salary bands on job adverts?”
❓ “Why do we pay higher salaries in location A vs location B?”
❓ ”I heard HappyPaws pays more for this role. Why don’t we pay the same?”
❌ Your best people leave. They’ll find fairness and transparency somewhere else.
❌ Trust erodes. Pay secrecy breeds suspicion and resentment.
❌ Growth stalls. Pay confusion distracts teams from actual work.
