This week we ask our guests about specialisation and pay transparency.
Finding a niche is a key principal of good business – but how can you grow if you’re focused on a narrow area? On this week’s programme, we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of developing specialities, and our guests tell us how they try to avoid the trap of being too limited – or too general.
And do you know how much the person sitting next to you is earning? Probably not, but a lot of people think you should, including the Equal Opportunities Commission and David Cameron. The Tories are even considering pushing for a ban on confidentiality clauses – they think a new climate of openness will narrow the persistent gender pay gap. We ask whether such a measure would make the workplace fairer or would spread more jealousy than wealth.
Our guests this week:
Trevor Bish Jones
Group Chief Executive, Woolworths
The Bottom Line cuts through the confusion of modern life to find out what's really important to consumers and businesses: the gimmicks, the people, the products - and the relationships.
