A person will struggle to reach flow state if they are not compensated fairly. Otherwise they will be consumed with the inequity, and it will be challenging for them to focus on the task. I’ve seen this time and time again. Part of our duty as managers is to strive to ensure that our staff are compensated fairly for their work. This can at times mean working with the company’s people (Human Resources) team, or with other stakeholders to understand the process for raises or promotions.
