The Boston Women’s Workforce Council (BWWC) leads a unique public-private partnership between the Boston Mayor and Greater Boston employers dedicated to eliminating gender and racial wage gaps.
We do so by measuring, analyzing, and reporting on these gaps, and working with over 200 employers committed to wage gap elimination and pay equity.
December 10, 2025 | 8:45 – 11:30 AM ET | 665 Commonwealth Ave
Join the Boston Women’s Workforce Council (BWWC) for our 11th annual Effective Practices Conference, an essential gathering for advancing wage equity in the workplace. This year marks the Council’s sixth data collection effort—a first-in-the-nation approach that anonymously collects and aggregates payroll data to provide a community snapshot of the progress made to close gender and racial wage gaps in Greater Boston. This work would not be possible without the partnership of our 200+ Compact Signers, who have pledged to take steps toward eliminating the gaps and sharing their data.
The Conference will include:
The findings from our 2025 Gender and Racial Wage Gap Program
Remarks from Mayor Wu
A keynote address from Lauren Jones, Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development
A panel discussion focused on what our results mean for Greater Boston employers
Breakfast and networking
The Effective Practices Conference is free of charge to 100% Talent Compact Signer employers. Paid tickets are available for the general public. Space is limited.
A curated list of open positions at Compact Signer organizations committed to workplace equity.
The Boston Women’s Workforce Council, in partnership with the Boston Mayor’s Office of Women’s Advancement, launched the Employer Wage Gap Calculator, a completely confidential online resource that enables employers to calculate their own wage gaps within seconds of inputting their data.
Please visit the Wage Gap Calculator today and feel free to share this tool with others both within and outside of your organization. Doing the math gives us the information we need to eliminate gender and racial wage gaps.
