Adobe Ranked as a Trailblazer on the Women's Power & Influence Index

The Difference Engine is thrilled to announce the latest ranking from The Women's Power and Influence Index, marking a significant achievement following last week's release. Today, we are excited to share that Adobe, a prominent computer software company, has earned the prestigious title of "TRAILBLAZER" based on the criteria used for the Women’s Power and Influence Index.

This announcement carries profound importance for advocates of workplace equity and diversity. Our dedicated team invested months in conducting exhaustive research, drawing insights from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Adobe's publicly available data to establish this remarkable ranking.

You may be wondering, what exactly does it signify to be a Trailblazer? Adobe has attained the highest ranking on the WPI, signifying a remarkable commitment to inclusive workplace policies and unwavering dedication to equity.

Here are some key highlights of Adobe's approach:

1. Pay Parity: Adobe achieved global pay equity in October 2018 through a comprehensive restructuring of its job and compensation framework, coupled with annual evaluations.
2. Adobe’s Women’s Executive Shadow Program (WESP): A professional development initiative that enables women to shadow executives, participate in group lunches, and engage in various developmental activities.
3. Women at Adobe Leadership Council (WALC): This council, comprised of 25 senior executive women, spearheads critical initiatives within the company, including pairing female professionals for a six-month professional development program.
4. Executive Diversity: Based on Adobe’s most recent EEO data, 23% of executives are women, and 37% of their total workforce is female.
5. Transparency Note: It's worth mentioning that we could not find available information regarding Adobe's harassment and discrimination training.

The Women's Power and Influence Index not only sheds light on the status of women within corporate structures but also promotes equitable practices.
