Q: Does pay inequality poses itself as an issue for stakeholders Employees are the main stakeholders that are directly affected by pay disparities. The High Pay Centre states that organisations with high pay disparities are more likely to experience high employee turnover, lower employee commitment and lower satisfaction with work. In return, it causes increased expenditure for a company to find replacement, lost production, wasted training costs, interruptions in the flow of work and damage to the organisations reputation and morale on those who remain. Hence besides affecting employees as stakeholders, it also affects shareholders who are concerned as to where their investment goes.
