In 2026, salary transparency will no longer be optional. Under the new EU directive, companies will have to disclose pay levels and gaps between comparable positions. But what if raw data causes more harm than good?

That’s exactly what Malik Gourara, CEO of Kingsley & Partners, discussed in a recent interview on Canal Z.

💬 “Publishing salaries without context can trigger frustration, inequity, and even strategic departures.”

Based on insights from the 2025 Salary Guide, the interview highlights the massive pay discrepancies in real estate and construction, and warns: Transparency must be prepared, explained, and structured—not improvised.

📉 Without explanation, the numbers can mislead.
📊 With support, transparency can boost trust, engagement and retention.
