Research commissioned by G-P (Globalization Partners) and conducted by Talker Research finds 71% of global workers now expect their employer to apply the strictest pay transparency rules company-wide, regardless of operating region.
BOSTON - ColoradoDesk -- A new global benchmark for pay transparency has emerged from the workforce itself. Named The Borderless Pay Standard in research commissioned by G-P (Globalization Partners) and conducted by Talker Research, it captures the global workforce expectation that an employer applies the strictest national pay transparency rules company-wide, regardless of where the company operates.
The finding emerges from a survey of 4,000 employed professionals across the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Singapore and Australia, conducted between April 21 and April 29, 2026. Seventy-one percent of respondents said they expect their employer to apply the strictest pay transparency rules globally, not only in regions where local law mandates them. Eighty-two percent described pay transparency as personally important — yet only 34% reported working at an organization that practices it.
The research also surfaces a parallel trust dimension. Forty-four percent of workers believe their employer would conceal pay transparency if legally permitted to do so. Among workers at currently-transparent employers, 18% said they would leave the company if the policy were withdrawn, and 37% would advocate for a formal policy change (base: n=1,351 workers at currently-transparent employers).

The cross-border dimension shows the standard at its sharpest. Among workers at companies with international operations, only 49% report knowing what international peers earn, compared to 61% awareness of domestic peer pay. This is the precise zone where The Borderless Pay Standard is most visibly tested for multinational employers — and where talent measures whether the standard is real or performative.
"Global talent now expects more than just local compliance; they seek a consistent standard of fairness that respects regional context. With the upcoming EU Pay Transparency Directive going into effect, pay transparency is only going to become a more important factor for workers in the future."
— Laura Maffucci, Head of HR, G-P
The Borderless Pay Standard was identified in research commissioned by G-P (Globalization Partners) and conducted by Talker Research.

For multinational employers, The Borderless Pay Standard should be treated as a structural compliance baseline — adopting the most rigorous regional pay transparency obligation as the global default, and surfacing cross-border pay benchmarks before attrition reveals the gap.
