MOVE Project

  

Transforming transportation workplaces for women and women of color  

 Women will advance in transportation workplaces when we know what prevents them from progressing. Employers will change if they don’t know where the problems are and how to fix them. Women’s Transportation Seminar Foundation (WTSF) invites you to participate in the inaugural WTSF /MOVE Project.  The project involves annual survey of industry employers, segmented appropriately for meaningful comparison by industry professionals, in which employers will provide data that measures factors proven to be correlated with meaningful outcomes.

 

M - Money: Equal pay policies and practices.

O  - Opportunity: How employers identify and cultivate diverse talent at every level

V  - Vital work-life supports: Everyday workplace culture and programs that minimize work-life conflicts that can hold back women, in particular

E -  Entrepreneurship: How women can advance through business ownership

 

Results of WTSF/MOVE will show:

  • How many women and women of color are in the transportation industry’s management pipeline, and where they are positioned
  • How transportation employers put equal pay policies into practice
  • How transportation employers train and develop women and women of color to be leaders
  • What work-life programs best remove barriers to women’s career success
  • How transportation employers leverage women and minority-owned businesses

 

All participating employers will receive:

  • A custom, confidential employer scorecard that analyzes their workplace for women and women of color compared to the industry aggregate and key subsectors
  • Recommendations for best practices and programs– many available through WTSF – that are proven to advance women
  • Candidacy for the WTS Best Employers list, to be announced upon compilation of first year results
  • Candidacy for the PINK magazine Best Employers for Women list

 

There will not be publication of results in any manner that identifies individual employers, other than those cited for best practices/recognition for excellence.  Employers will share in the cost of administering the project.  To participate, please contact Diane James, CAE at foundation@wtsinternational.org.
