Paying our employees equally for equal work is consistent with our values and is at the heart of our global compensation practices. Our approach to monitoring and maintaining pay equity includes regularly benchmarking global salaries, conducting rigorous internal and external parity audits and reviewing pay recommendations across the company as part of our annual compensation process.
In all cases of a disparity, we examined the circumstances to understand the root cause, and if there was a pay differential that could not be explained by a known variable, we increased pay.
