Columbus Women's Commission: The Columbus Commitment: Advancing Pay Equity in Our Community
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Christina Ratleff at [email protected].
Mayor Andrew J. Ginther and First Lady Shannon
Ginther are proud to announce six new Commissioners on the Columbus Women’s Commission.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made us more aware than ever of the disparities that exist in our community and, in particular, the significant impact of these disparities on women. Women are being forced to make difficult decisions as they attempt to balance school and work responsibilities.
The Columbus Women’s Commission compiled a playbook for local business leaders to provide potential workplace policies, programs and solutions to support their working families. It is our hope that this playbook will inform and inspire flexible, innovative workplace policies. We encourage central Ohio employers to collaborate with families so parents can fulfill both their parenting and work commitments.
