'This is truly the book that all business leaders and HR Directors should read if they are looking to understand the benefits of pay transparency for their employees and their business. Rameez is a true leader in this field in making something quite big and scary for a company, much simpler. More importantly, he will give you the confidence to make the right decisions. This book is a must-have and I am certainly looking forward to creating a culture of more trust and openness in my organisation.' - John Athanasiou, Director of People, HarperCollins UK and Ireland 'A Case of the Mondays explores a complex and emotionally charged area with a mix of humour, anecdotes and case-based insight. Fair and ethically run companies deliver long-term sustainable growth, and fair reward sits at the heart of this. Rameez shares analysis and practical advice to help leaders and HR professionals address this.' - Nick Skinner, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Abcam PLC 'A thought-provoking and practical guide for any HR professional embarking on a pay transparency journey in their organisation. In this book, Rameez shares his valuable insights based on years of experience, along with practical and straightforward how-to tips which will appeal to all HR professionals.' - Lizzie Henson, Founder, HR Ninjas 'Too often, HR and business leaders are instinctively dismissive of the concept of pay transparency. In A Case of the Mondays, Rameez encourages leaders to challenge their thinking. Whilst being an engaging and easily readable book, he takes you through what pay transparency means, paths to achieving it and the positive impacts that getting this right will deliver. As HR professionals, it is our role to challenge long-held views, drive progress across the people agenda and, in doing so, realise commercial benefits for our businesses. This is a persuasive and practical book that I would encourage all HR and reward professionals to read.' - Lucinda Pullinger, UK Managing Director, Instant Group 'This book presents the case well for pay transparency on the rationale for decision making. It is fundamentally important to all organisational cultures that decision making has integrity and can stand the test of scrutiny. Any feeling of discomfort regarding such transparency should be channelled into ensuring that our pay decision making has integrity and our decision making process is defendable.' - Caren Thomas, HR Director, Chartered Insurance Institute 'This book is a must-read for all HR professionals, and many business leaders beyond. It is difficult to understand how any organisation can be serious about its DEI strategies without having a cold, hard look at pay transparency. And this is the book for that. I love how it uses a holistic approach to address the many contributing factors to what could be a complicated topic. Rameez makes it simple and easy to understand, with practical steps to align a pay transparency approach to each organisation.' - Ed Airey, Group Employee Experience Director, National Express 'An informative and highly entertaining primer. Rameez offers clarity to the topic of pay transparency with aplomb.' - Mustafa Jaffar, Managing Director, HR, Standard Chartered Bank 'Rameez sets out a strong argument for pay transparency and the benefits this brings in the longer term, even if in the immediate it can present as a difficult conversation. This is essential to implement a modern and progressive pay framework which is sustainable in the longer term.' - Louise Beauchamp, Director of People, Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health
