Adobe Announces Global Pay Parity Between Women and Men, Delivering on the Commitment the Company Made Earlier This Year
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced it has delivered on its commitment
to pay parity between women and men globally across nearly 40 countries.
This is a critical milestone in Adobe’s ongoing commitment to providing
employees with a workplace that is inclusive, innovative and exceptional.
“Diversity is about valuing the unique life experience that every
employee brings to work every day,” said Shantanu Narayen, president and
CEO, Adobe. “I’m proud that we’ve taken this important step toward fair
recognition of all our people’s contributions—achieving this milestone
is fundamental to who we are.”
Adobe defines pay parity as ensuring that employees in the same job and
location are paid fairly to one another, regardless of their gender or
ethnicity. As a core element of its gender pay parity initiative, the
company analyzed its employees’ pay within job families and location,
and then made a small number of adjustments to employees’ pay based on
that review. These global pay adjustments, including those previously
made in the United States and India, impacted less than five percent of
Adobe employees and less than 0.2 percent of global payroll costs.
“We’re proud to continue creating a culture that fairly rewards and
recognizes the contributions of all our employees across the globe,”
said Donna Morris, executive vice president of Customer & Employee
Experience, Adobe. “Adobe is leading the industry by demonstrating that
what is good for employees is good for business, and we hope this
inspires other companies to embrace this type of equality.”
In December 2017, Adobe announced U.S. gender pay parity, followed by
India pay parity in January 2018. In 2016, Adobe announced pay parity
between white and non-white employees in the U.S. Adobe is committed to
maintaining pay parity through its hiring, acquisition integration and
annual pay review processes.
