I’m thinking about this a lot at the moment - any examples you can share?

I’ve found these so far:

- Buffer - salaries, email, progress reports, revenue & user numbers, professional development activities are all open.

- Stripe - "almost all of Stripe’s email is public inside the company".

- Qualtrics - detailed open performance metrics are available on each employee. Seagate also does this.

- Red Hat - uses an open decision-making platform, Memo List.

- SEOmoz - CEO Rand Fishkin publishes his own performance review.

- Asana - minutes of board meetings and weekly executive meetings are available for all employees to read.

Seems there’s two clear types of transparency:

- operational and product transparency

- staffing, performance and compensation transparency

And of course, I can imagine these two different types being received very differently, and (in)appropriate in different circumstances and cultures.
