Salesforce has spent about $3 million in the last year to adjust compensation and bonuses for eleven percent of its employees, bringing the\u00a0total spent on closing the wage gap to about $6 million since 2015<\/a>.\u00a0The adjustments went into effect at the beginning of the month.<\/p>\n Salesforce employs more than 25,000 people worldwide. Of the eleven percent of employees affected (~2,750), 68% were women and 32% of men. Salesforce says less than one percent of the pay\/bonuses adjustments were due to race.<\/p>\n \u201cThe need for another adjustment underscores the nature of pay equity\u2014it is a moving target, especially for growing companies in competitive industries. It must be consistently monitored and addressed,\u201d Salesforce EVP of Global Employee Success Cindy Robbins wrote on the company blog. \u201cSalesforce<\/span> will continue to focus on equality, diversity and inclusion at all levels, and we plan to review employee compensation on an ongoing basis.\u201d<\/p>\n The tech industry\u2019s gender gap is close to the U.S. average (5.4 percent), and falls in the middle among industries,\u00a0according to a 2016 Glassdoor study<\/a>. That said, the tech occupations with significant gaps include computer programmers (28.3 percent), computer-aided designer (21.5 percent) and\u00a0video game artist (15.8 percent).<\/p>\n Salesforce is among a growing number of tech companies that have recently been focused on the wage gap. Facebook and Apple, for example, both said last year that they have closed the gender pay gap at their respective companies.<\/p>\n Featured Image: Bloomberg<\/a>\/Getty Images<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Marc](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/10\/gettyimages-612902270.jpg?w=680\")
