This paper explores the role of the employment relations regulatory framework in expanding employee rights, with a particular focus on pay transparency, career progression, and gender equality. The purpose of this study is to examine how these elements impact organizational performance in both public institutions and private businesses. While pay transparency policies aim to address pay discrimination and improve employees' rights, pay transparency practices foster trust and cooperation among employees, enhancing their engagement at work and allowing employers to benefit more effectively from their skills, productivity, and overall performance. At the organizational level, such practices support fair employee evaluation, promote diversity and ethical behavior, strengthen the institution’s public image, and increase social accountability. This study employs a qualitative and primarily theoretical approach, following an in-depth review of the literature in the field and research in the Albanian regulatory framework. The findings indicate a growing emphasis on transparency within public institutions, although challenges persist in the practical implementation of legal provisions. The research highlights a moderate level of awareness among private-sector employers, often driven by foreign companies operating in Albania. While the study does not provide extensive empirical analysis, it offers preliminary insights and practical recommendations aimed at enhancing employer accountability and supporting the alignment of Albanian institutions with European standards.
