Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the next milestone in its
commitment to maintaining an inclusive workplace and ensuring fair
employment practices across gender and U.S. racial and ethnic
groups, by disclosing findings from its opportunity parity
initiative and reaffirming global gender pay parity. Early this
year, Adobe declared its plan to pursue a new initiative it calls
opportunity parity, examining fairness in promotions across
demographic groups. As a first step, the company disclosed that its
fiscal year-to-date promotion rates were 13.6% for women and 13.9%
for men. In the U.S., the promotion rate was 13.5% for white
employees and 13.2% for non-white employees. Both comparisons show
a nominal difference of 0.3%.
“Our employees and our customers care deeply about Adobe’s
commitment to doing what’s right. This includes ensuring equal
treatment in terms of pay, access to new opportunities and
advancement—and creating a workplace in which all of our employees
can thrive,” said Donna Morris, executive vice president and chief
human resources officer, Employee Experience, Adobe. “We feel very
good about our findings and we’re proud that we continue to invest
where it matters—in our people, who have always been the foundation
of our company.”
A promotion is defined as an employee moving up one or more job
levels; moving from an individual contributor role to a manager
role; or moving to a salaried position. Adobe’s overall global
promotion rate of 13.8% is ahead of the industry benchmark of 10%,
according to Aon/Radford—a positive indicator that Adobe employees
are advancing in their careers and taking on new opportunities.
Pay Parity
As a key indicator that its employees are paid fairly, Adobe
also reaffirmed global gender pay parity. In addition, as a core
element of its pay parity work, the company analyzed pay for
employees in the same job and location and made a small number of
adjustments to employees’ pay based on that review. The global pay
adjustments made this year impacted less than 2% of Adobe employees
and less than 0.05% of global payroll costs.
