GoDaddy : Diversity and Pay Equity Annual Report

When people ask what makes me proud to work for GoDaddy, a few important things come to mind. Namely, our culture and our focus on building an inclusive environment where everyone has an opportunity to thrive. We don’t use these words lightly, and we don’t shy away from the hard work they entail.

In 2015, we were one of the first tech companies to share gender pay data with the world. We knew early on that we must discover the uncomfortable facts to guide us towards increasing the diversity of our global team. We continue to share our data every year because we believe in transparency, accountability and lending our voice to help improve our industry.

We are proud of our commitment over the years to reduce unconscious bias and ensure consistency for our people. A good example is from our recent annual employee survey where 90% of employees said, “My manager creates an environment that allows me to be myself at work.” A culture of trust, respect and authenticity is one of the reasons so many of us come to GoDaddy and stay here.

We are committed to treating and paying all employees fairly. Looking at the numbers this year, we are proud to again pay employees in like roles at parity across gender and ethnicity. Historically, we have reported on U.S. data, but this year we expanded our gender analysis to look at pay parity across the globe.

We know our ethnic representation needs to be higher, which is a realization that might scare others away from making this data public. But we are firm believers in the value of transparency, in order to build our workforce to be as diverse as the customers we serve.

We are proud of the progress we have made in pay equality and creating a more diverse team, and we continue to do the hard work to make more gains. We will keep listening to our employees, let the data guide us on areas to improve, and continue our commitment to share it as we advance on this journey.

2020 GoDaddy Diversity and Equity Annual Report

Put simply, diversity makes us better.

We prioritize transparency when talking about the diversity of our company. To that end, we want to share our progress and show the areas where we need improvement. Doing so will make us better and contribute to making the industry stronger.

We’ve been publishing our representation and pay equity results for years and achieved both gender and ethnic pay equity in almost all areas of our business. Our teams have learned more about unconscious biases and how we can reduce bias within our organization. And we’ve learned how to increase consistency in performance reviews and promotions, along with consistency in pay. All of these efforts have contributed to GoDaddy achieving a 100% Human Rights Campaign/Corporate Equality Index score the past two years.

But it’s just the beginning.

That’s why this report exists: To hold us accountable for our inclusivity practices and make sure that we continue to strive to do better.
