3% Pledge for Pay Equity
Everyone wants equal pay; few are certain they’ve got it.
Research shows pay equity is one of the top issues facing female equality in the U.S. today. Yet few women or men know if their company delivers it. Many agencies 3% works with have done pay equity analyses and committed to rectifying like-for-like salaries between genders. Yet they haven’t publicized the undertaking, leaving many women wondering if they’re paid equally.
3% is helping to solve this disconnect.
In the Fall of 2018, the 3% Movement embarked upon a campaign to create and drive momentum in the movement to close gender pay gaps. Agencies who had conducted wage audits and who are committed to pay equity became founding members of the 3% PLEDGE FOR PAY EQUITY.
We’ve gathered and published industry insights.
We spoke to individuals from 17 member agencies about their experiences with pay equity. They generously gave us their time and insights, sharing their stories and experiences, deepest challenges and great joys.
Founding Agencies of the 3% Pledge for Pay Equity:
2019 3% Pledge for Pay Equity Agencies
2020 3% Pledge for Pay Equity Agencies
2021 3% Pledge for Pay Equity Agencies
Our intention in creating this initiative is to create an umbrella that is as inclusive as possible, allowing in both agencies who are well underway in pay equity, as well as those who are raising their hands to undertake the effort in the near future.
We’re extending the impact of the Pledge by developing tools, sharing research and best practices, and hosting seminars and convenings for member agencies.
Our goal is to support you in your efforts so that together we can make change in our industry and beyond.
