Discuss measures that employers can take to improve pay transparency.

How does pay secrecy impede organisational justice? Discuss measures that employers can take to improve pay transparency. The marking criteria expects: A critical understanding of what pay transparency is, drawing on the concepts of procedural and distributive justice. Students may also draw on case studies e.g. BBC. Students should consider how pay systems could improve transparency (e.g. single pay spine, clearly linked to grades; equal pay audits; job evaluation)Students might also draw links between arguments concerning transparency and CEO pay (Collela et al 2007; Estlund, 2009; Mas, 2016; Ramachandaran, 2012) and consider the argument that individual pay is personal and confidential data and should not be revealed under data protection/GDPR. Good answers might also link this to ‘new pay’ theories (Lawler, 1990) that stress individuality and variable pay and how this could lead to organisational injustice. Students should understand legislative approaches to pay transparency e.g. hard and soft legislation such as the outlawing of pay secrecy clauses in the Equality Act. Students could also provide examples of ‘reflexive’ legislative attempts in the UK and Italy to make the gender pay gap in organisations more transparent. A good answer would draw on literature that points out the limitations of legislative approaches pay equality (e.g. Dickens 2007; De Simone and Rivera, 2007) and to organisational transparency by considering some examples of the unexpected behaviour that organisations might engage in to avoid revealing embarrassing data (Fung et al. 2004).

Develop a paper in which you describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, and then identify and analyze credible evidence that could be used as the basis for applying EBP to the issue.For this assessment, you may choose from the following options as the context for the quality or safety issue or chosen diagnosis for researching and completing this assessment:The specific diagnosis you identified in your previous assessment.Chosen Diagnosis is: Diabetes type 2InstructionsThe purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-to-date evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the patient experience.For this assessment:Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as websites.Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that should be used to determine credibility.Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen scenario for this assessment. For example, if you choose to use the provided Vila Health scenario, your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best help address the presented issue. However, if you are locating resources to help provide evidence-based care for the diagnosis you identified in the first assessment, you may want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that identified. Any of the three scenario options are acceptable. So, pick the one that most interests you.Be sure to address the following in this assessment, which correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so that you will know what is needed for a distinguished score.Describe a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis, that could benefit from an evidence-based approach.Explain criteria that should be considered when determining credibility of resources such as journal articles and websites.Analyze the credibility and relevance of evidence and resources within the context of a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis.This is where you are selecting the specific resources to help address the issue in your chosen scenario. Explain the importance of incorporating credible evidence into an EBP model used to address a quality or safety issue, or a chosen diagnosis.
