Equal Pay for Equal Work -Intel Paves the Way on Disclosing Pay Segregation in the Tech Industry –Other companies should follow their lead in 2020True to its tradition of transparency in the release of diversity and inclusion data, Intel released salary information by race and gender in a six page document early last week. Companies can choose to keep their submissions private and Intel chose to release the full data set publicly, and reported the pay equity data as part of its EEO-1 report filed with the federal government. Just as they did when Intel launched its $300 million diversity initiative, Intel has set a new bar for the public release of diversity and equality data, transparency and public accountability. It represents nothing less than a new challenge for the rest of the tech industry –and corporate America –to follow. Echoing the call that reverberated throughout the tech industry when Rainbow PUSH pressured companies to release their EEO-1 race and gender representation data, Barbara Sheitel’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer and Vice President of Human Resources, declared, “You cannot fix what you are willing to be transparent about.” Intel is on the right track, and deserves a shout out for being one of the few companies with a willingness to drive concrete actions to address the systemic barriers for people of color in tech.They are paving the way and the data clearly indicates our next critical step of diversifying tech travels through pay disclosures. In 2020, there must be an honest reckoning with pay disparities and occupational pay segregation in tech companies
