Studies show that more than 60 percent of the world's employed women work in the services sector including foodservice, hospitality, travel, ecommerce, healthcare, financial, advertising, marketing and more. However, women face a gender wage gap globally, earning 77 percent of what men earn. Those same studies report that today, women earn what men were earning ten years ago. The global average annual earnings for women are 11K, compared to men's earnings of 21K.

WFF delivers a research-based, leadership development curriculum that teaches women the leadership skills necessary for them to help narrow the gap.
