eBay ranked as a Late Bloomer on the Women's Power and Influence Index

Exciting news, folks! The Difference Engine has just released the latest ranking on The Women's Power and Influence Index. We recently shared the ranking for CVS, and now it's time to reveal where eBay, an online commerce corporation, stands on the Index.

As a woman who values equity and fair treatment in the workplace, you may be interested to know that our team has completed an extensive months-long research project to create the Women's Power Index. We collected data from various sources, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and publicly available information related to eBay, to analyze the status of women in the workplace.

eBay's placement on the Index is categorized as a "Late Bloomer," signifying a company that exhibits promising inclinations towards an inclusive work environment, yet still possesses noteworthy gaps warranting attention for a more comprehensive commitment to equity.

Some of the reasons for eBay’s position on the Index include:

• Analysis of eBay's recent Equal Employment Opportunity data reveals that 30% of the company's executive roles are occupied by women. Furthermore, the overall female workforce constitutes only 38%.
• We could not find any information on gender-specific mentorship opportunities, recruitment efforts, discrimination and harassment training, community engagement, paid time off, childcare services, and benefits.
• eBay has achieved pay equity for total compensation, including salary, bonus, and annual stock award value, for the previous five years which helps their score on the Index
• In terms of professional development, eBay has a Women at eBay program led by both women and men to further the company’s diversity and inclusion goals.

The Women's Power and Influence Index aims to facilitate a dialogue on gender equity within corporate structures. By making this data accessible to diverse stakeholders – ranging from employees, potential candidates, investors, to journalists and advocates – our intent is to empower women in making informed career decisions and encourage organizations to prioritize gender inclusivity.

For those eager to delve deeper into the specifics of eBay's endeavors, we invite you to explore their comprehensive company profile! This resource offers valuable insights into the organization's ongoing journey towards cultivating a more inclusive and equitable work environment.
