SEATTLE, Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Zillow Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq: Z and ZG), which houses a portfolio of the largest and
most vibrant real estate and home-related brands on mobile and web,
today announced it has committed to the White House Equal Pay
Pledge, which encourages U.S. companies to take action to advance
equal pay among men and women.
"Zillow Group is honored to sign the White House Equal Pay
Pledge and join other companies who are committed to this effort,"
said Zillow Group COO Amy
Bohutinsky. "We believe in creating equal career
opportunities for all men and women, and we believe in equal and
fair compensation for all our employees. As a company, we invest
significant resources to ensure that women and men are paid equally
across similar and same positions, and we're transparent with our
employees in sharing this analysis and data."
"Inequality in the workforce doesn't just adversely affect
women; it affects our families and our broader economy. As
President Obama says, 'When women succeed, America succeeds.'
That's why today's announcement is a great step in the right
direction and the Obama Administration applauds companies making
this commitment to advance equal pay," said White House Senior
Advisor Valerie Jarrett. "However,
the work doesn't stop there. We must continue to ask what more we
can all do to ensure that the 21st century workplace reflects the
priorities and values of the 21st century worker."
Zillow Group takes great pride in providing its nearly 3,000
employees with benefits that are an authentic representation of the
company's culture. These benefits reflect what's most important to
employees and their families and Zillow Group's ongoing commitment
to encouraging work-life balance and supporting working parents.
Benefits include 16-week paid maternity leave, $1,000 "Baby
Bucks" to all new parents, designated nursing rooms with
fully equipped hospital grade pumps and fridges in all our offices,
free overnight breast milk shipping for nursing mothers on business
trips, free back-up child care and on-the-job educational
opportunities to advance employees' skill sets and career
opportunities.
By signing the pledge, Zillow Group commits to conducting an
annual company-wide gender pay analysis, reviewing hiring and
promotion processes and procedures to reduce unconscious bias and
structural barriers, and embedding equal pay efforts into broader
equity initiatives.
