Turner College Faculty, Phil Bryant and Mark James, Produce Research Symposium on Pay Transparency

Turner Business is proud to report that Turner College management faculty Phi Bryant and Mark James recently teamed up to produce a special issue symposium on pay transparency for Compensation & Benefits Review. Bryant, the permanent editor of the journal, put together the special issue topic last year and managed in conjunction Tae-Youn Park, and Editorial Board member of the journal who is affiliated with Cornell University. "It has been a real pleasure working with Tae-Youn Park on the first pay transparency and communication special issue. [He] was integral in writing the initial call for papers, recruiting authors, reviewing and compiling the content, and writing the introduction to the first of these two special issues," Bryant explained.

The initial call for papers resulted in a tremendous amount of interest, prompting Bryant to devote two issues of the journal to the symposium topic. For that second issue, Bryant called upon his local colleague James. "I’ve also enjoyed working with . . . Mark . . . on this second special issue. His assistance in reviewing, compiling the content, and writing th[e] introduction were invaluable." The second issue is set for publication in the near future. In the meantime, Bryant is already on to his next project - another symposium for the journal. "My good friend and colleague, Duncan Brown, approached me with the idea for a special issue on the topic of skill-based pay in 2023 and we will be working on that throughout 2024. Please be on the lookout for more information," Bryant added. Brown, who is affiliated with the Institute for Employment Studies, is a member of the Advisory Board of the journal. Lastly, Turner Business is also proud to add that another Turner College faculty, economics professor and Turner College Associate Dean Tesa Leonce, also serves on the Editorial Board of Compensation & Benefits Review.
