Women Beware - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Sound Transit

Thank you for your feedback. We are committed to creating a transparent and inclusive environment for all our employees so we are disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We value and consider all feedback as we continue to find ways to enhance our compensation and benefit programs. We wanted to address a couple of your specific concerns here. First, we have made a committed effort to address internal equity within Sound Transit based on feedback from our employee survey. HR completed a large compensation study in November of 2017, which aligned both men and women compa-ratios to 97 percent. We will continue in 2018 with a study to be completed in October. In order to be completely transparent in our pay practices, we are currently training managers and employees on our compensation program and processes, which includes our annual compensation study process. Second, HR has completed workplace flexibility focus groups and will be recommending a new workplace flexibility program. This program will address many flexibility aspects but will also include flexibility options for employees who would benefit from furthering educational needs. This program expected to roll out in late 2018. Again, thank you for your ongoing contribution and feedback.
