Salary inequities that result from internal transfers -- any thoughts?

I had lunch today with someone that told me that in a previous role she was internally transferred to a new department/position. Later, she found out she made less than a male colleague that had the same job as she did but was hired from outside the company. (She found out because he asked her to help him with his taxes and showed him his W-2). Does anyone have advice about how to deal with this issue or concern? And has this happened to anyone else? Do you think companies have an obligation to pay internal transfers into roles the same as new hires for those positions?

Did the man hired from outside have more experience overall or more experience in parts of the role that the company values? If not, that's a reason why employees job hop; going to a new company offers a quick hike in pay.

This happens constantly and it so shortsighted of companies. It causes attrition constantly. Is there a possible future when we pay people for the role instead of based on experience etc?
