Commenting on the benefits, Charles Cotton, reward adviser at the CIPD, said: “Employees who feel unfairly treated are unlikely to be engaged and motivated to help the business succeed.
“Conversely, well-informed, fairly treated employees are more likely to be powerful advocates and motivated contributors to the future success of their companies.”
The CIPD also suggested that the government should “outlaw gagging clauses” that prevent employees discussing their salary with colleagues and instead promote “transparency”.
Internet giant Yahoo has announced that it will be freezing employee pay to cut costs.
