Together with our fellow Montanans and the Equal Pay for Equal Work Task Force, we pledge to close Montana's wage gap. As a Montana business and member of the community, we believe that businesses play a critical role in closing the pay gap and commit ourselves to removing visible and invisible barriers to women's advancement, and positioning Montana as an equal pay leader state.

Question Title

  • Encourage diversity in hiring pools
  • Include women on hiring committees
  • Offer subsidized childcare
  • Provide flexible schedule opportunities
  • Provide diversity and gender equity training (gender bias, workplace culture, change management or other related training)
  • Provide paid family leave (for care of children and aging or ill parents)
  • Pursue mentorship or career development programs
  • Recruit women to executive level, board positions, or other nontraditional occupations for women
