Women’s Money Matters (Formerly Budget Buddies) was proud to sign onto the 100% Talent Compact by the Boston Women’s Workforce Council(BWWC). This compact promotes salary transparency and best practices surrounding wage equality. From BWWC:
In a city where women make up more than half of the residents and half of the workforce, pay equity is not only the right thing to do, it is the smart thing to do. In partnership with the City of Boston, the BWWC implements the 100% Talent Compact, a first-in-the-nation approach to reaching pay equity for working women.
To this day, over 250 Boston-area employers have signed the Compact and pledged to close the gender/racial wage gap in Greater Boston. Our Compact Signers are actively committed to examining their own salary data and practices and making changes where needed.
