Our People and Culture 74 2021 Sustainability Report A Modern, High-Performing Health System Introduction Responsible Business Practices Performance Data Environmental Health Our culture Our United Culture program is supported by culture ambassadors and more than 120 leaders throughout the enterprise who serve as culture facilitators, working to ensure our values are understood and demonstrated across the organization. This volunteer culture community creates and leads culture and engagement activities and learning experiences that underscore our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion; social responsibility; and well-being. Culture leadership workshops and foundational learning provide key building blocks for sharing and reinforcing cultural messages and aspirations for employees. 74% of all employees globally responded to our employee experience survey in 2021. 5K+ employees participated in 66 learning webinars on diversity, equity and inclusion, core values and commonly used principles. Supporting pay equity We are committed to and continue to prioritize pay equity for all employees. Fair and equitable compensation practices within a pay-for-performance framework support our culture and are critical to achieving our mission. We continue to work with independent, third-party experts to perform reviews of our compensation practices and evaluate pay equity in several respects, including by gender, ethnicity and race. A 2021 review of our integrated workforce — including our global operations — indicates women earn $1 for every $1 men earn performing similar work at similar levels. In addition, employees of color in the U.S. earn $1 for every $1 white employees earn performing similar work at similar levels. To prevent pay inequities at hire, we do not ask candidates in the U.S. about salary history during the hiring process. This practice helps us remove any bias that can come from crafting initial compensation packages based on salary history.
