Lumen Partners with Syndio to Advance Pay Equity Goals

Lumen Technologies has enlisted the resources of Syndio to help them achieve their pay equity goals. Syndio provides technology and expert guidance that helps companies measure and achieve all facets of workplace equity. Their Workplace Equity Analytics Platform provides visibility to potential pay and other workplace disparities.

In addition, Syndio helps companies embed workplace equity into their core business. This helps to ensure that once achieved, equity will be maintained.

Lumen has been conducting pay analyses for many years. The incorporation of Syndio’s technology will help them advance their pay strategy to ensure fair compensation across the company well into the future. The platform will provide an always-on view of pay equity to help Lumen analyze, resolve and prevent pay disparities.

Lumen is also committed to sharing insights with employees.
