Japanese term or phrase: 日の目が見られる

The phrase appears in
皆がそれぞれ手抜きをするような風土になると会社はどんどん悪くなる。しっかりとした意見を持ってやり続けられるようにしなければならない。そういうことを側面からサポートするために人事制度がある。言った人が割を食ったりせず、きちんと日の目が見られるような人事制度を作るべきではないだろうか。
I'm not sure what is the subject of 日の目が見られる.
Any help would be appreciated.

given proper credit where it is due

Explanation:
Now in this context 言った人が割を食ったりせず、きちんと日の目が見られるような人事制度, means an HR system uncer whicheverybody can express his/her opinions without being deliberately ignored, or the credit is taken away from.
Now that being clarified (in my own way), you must determine what is the subject in this sentence. I would make 言った人.
So that 言った人 will be given proper credit (i.e. reward, recognition, whatever).

Closest English expression for 日の目を見る is "See the light of the day". You may choose to implement this expression if you like.

日の目が見られる support lateral moves

Explanation:
日の目が見られる-transparent?-just a guess
Support lateral moves

Flatter organisational structures mean there are fewer openings for individuals to move up. As a result, some organisations actively encourage employees to step sideways to broaden their skills and keep them challenged. This is also an ideal way of revitalising someone who has reached a plateau and is stuck in a rut. You should also consider job rotation schemes, redefining roles and assignments to special projects as other ways of renewing enthusiasm. Encourage staff to suggest ideas on how to increase job satisfaction.
