WHY ACPWB

We believe organizations that understand their own compensation – what they pay, why they pay it, how it compares to the market, and whether it is fair – perform better and retain better talent. We have data supporting this. We also follow this principle ourselves, which is how we arrived at a compensation structure that allows us to write this sentence without discomfort. ACPWB was founded in Milwaukee in 2006 with a simple mandate: help working Americans understand and advocate for the compensation they deserve. Eighteen years later, that mandate has grown into a full-service research and advisory practice serving clients from early-stage employers to Fortune 50 enterprises – and we are still based in Milwaukee, because Milwaukee is genuinely underrated.
