Apple Ranked as a Pacesetter on the Women’s Power and Influence Index

Apple has earned the ranking “PACESETTER” on the Women's Power and Influence Index. The Index not only sheds light on the status of women within corporate structures but also promotes equitable practices. To come to this ranking, our researchers examined Apple’s EEO data and public reports. As a “PACESETTER,” Apple has a pay equity policy, health benefits for its women employees, parental leave, and a transparent harassment policy.

Here are some of the key highlights from our research:

- Pay Equity: Apple has a clear pay equity policy that promises equal pay across gender, race, and ethnicity.

- Harassment Policy: Apple has a transparent harassment policy that defines and prohibits harassment. It also hosts harassment and discrimination training for its managers.

- Health Benefits: Apple also provides caregiver paid time off and health benefits specifically for women and their children.

Although Apple has admirable policies in place, it could dedicate more resources to expanding gender equality programs, mentorship opportunities for women, and recruitment efforts of women.
