Esper Pay practices support DEIB initiatives by implementing a standardized compensation structure to ensure fair pay, minimize bias, and favoritism in salary decisions. The company gathered employee salaries, calculated percentile-wise positions within their respective role's salary bands, and created a new spreadsheet listing employee names and corresponding band percentiles without actual salaries. This approach allowed for objective evaluation and corrections of inconsistent compensation practices, making market adjustments as needed to ensure fairness and equity. By doing so, Esper aims to disrupt black-box compensation practices in the tech space and model pay equity in the workplace.
