Identifying gender and racial wage gaps is the first step in closing them

The Boston Women’s Workforce Council (BWWC), in partnership with the Boston Mayor's Office of Women's Advancement (MOWA), has created this easy-to-use confidential tool to help employers determine if wage gaps exist at their organizations. We encourage you to do the calculations, compare any wage gaps you find against those outlined by the BWWC in Greater Boston (view 2023 Wage Gaps Report), and consider joining the 100% Talent Compact to become part of the solution.

EMPLOYER WAGE GAP SCORECARD

Your results on this page show the raw wage gaps at your organization. Understanding the difference between the raw gender wage gap and equal pay for equal work is an important first step in measuring and understanding internal wage gaps.

Equal pay for equal work requires that people doing the same work be paid the same amount, and has been a law since 1963. You likely do pay audits in order to be compliant with the law currently.

The raw wage gap, or unadjusted wage gap, goes further to consider where underrepresented groups sit in an organization, helping us understand the power gaps that exist. Biases and lack of access to promotions, bonuses, and flexibility can perpetuate inequities across all levels of an organization, even if equal pay for equal work is in place.

We acknowledge that measuring raw wage gaps is not a pass/fail exercise and that these gaps often fluctuate based on turnover, promotions, changes within organizational structure, and other factors. Our goal is that doing the math will encourage internal reflection, conversation, and action among your leadership team.
