What does your company do, especially vs. competitors, to promote gender equity?
With slightly over half of our Hippos identifying as female (52.1%) as of June 2023, there is a significant representation of women within our community. Embracing different gender identities not only promotes equal representation but also enriches the community by incorporating a wide range of perspectives, fostering creativity, and encouraging understanding among members; additionally, this information is made public to candidates via our DEI page on our careers site so applicants can see an accurate representation of our employee breakdown. We’ve also adopted recognition programs such as Women of Impact, where employees can nominate coworkers during Women’s History Month who they feel have made a difference in the workplace. These anonymous nominations are then shared with the employees as well as social media.
What does your company do differently to even the scales for women in the workplace?
Golden Hippo is delighted to share that after conducting a thorough audit over the past two years, we are at nearly 100% pay parity for men and women, and across diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. Pay equity means we provide equal pay for comparable work. We evaluated pay equity by analyzing base pay to assess whether employees in similar roles, experience and performance earn equal pay for comparable work. This is an area that we will continue to closely assess and invest in because equality and diversity makes us all stronger.
