Use data to tell a story and create a compelling case for change.
Here’s how:

Wholesale radical transparency isn’t the goal for everyone. Understanding what elements of transparency can help you boost TA, employer brand and retention IS.
👉 Understand and agree on what transparency means for your business
👉 Create your roadmap and prioritise.
👉 Identify quick wins

Your v1 internal changes should be the quick wins, what do your internal people metrics tell you? Where are the quick wins? They can ladder up nicely into a high utility internal deliverable: your employee handbook.
