Pay transparency driven by regulation and peer practices in Singapore

Five in 10 firms conduct pay equity analysis.

Singapore firms value pay transparency, with 50% conducting pay equity analysis and 65% having corresponding implementation strategies, AON reported.

In doing the Pay Equity Analysis, the top factors Singapore firms look into are job family (81%), experience/gender (65%), and performance rating (54%). 

The analysis is communicated to top management (81%) and board of directors (35%).

Firms conducting pay equity analysis face difficulties allocating budgets (46%) and getting buy-in from business or leadership, knowledge of industry/peer practices, and unconscious bias in managers (31%).

AON also revealed that the top drivers for pay transparency practices in Singapore are regulation and compliance (75%), peer practices (54%), the company’s diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) policy (36%), investor relations (25%), and social movements/activism (7%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
