By valuing individuality, we grow together.
At GoDaddy, we are committed to attracting, motivating, and retaining qualified talent from around the world. We work to create a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where employees can learn, grow, and succeed. We believe a workforce that reflects the communities we serve strengthens our ability to experiment and innovate. The unique perspectives and experiences of our employees help us to better serve entrepreneurs globally.
Accountability and transparency are essential to this approach. Our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Steering Committee, composed of senior leaders, plays a key role in fostering an inclusive employee and customer experience by providing feedback and direction as needed. We also support accountability through transparent public disclosures on workforce representation and pay parity.
Our People-Centered Strategy in Action
We put our people-centered strategy into practice through inclusive programs and policies across the employee experience. These efforts are designed to support employees individually and empower teams to deliver strong business outcomes.
We also integrate people-centered priorities into how we operate across our business. This includes a thoughtful approach to partnerships, investments, policies, and communications, supporting consistency between how we work internally and how we show up for our customers.
To better serve entrepreneurs, we seek to understand the diverse needs of the customers we support and use that insight to inform the enhancements we make to our solutions and tools as well as how and what we build in the future. By connecting employee experience to customer experience, we equip our teams to help entrepreneurs succeed.
Representation Matters
We believe representation matters because it helps us attract and retain the best talent and brings a wider range of perspectives into how we build and innovate. By reflecting the communities around us, we strengthen collaboration, creativity, and long-term performance.
Board Composition
Our business and long-term value creation are supported by our purpose to make opportunity more inclusive for all by serving a diverse customer base. In support of this purpose, our Board, in conjunction with the Nominating and Governance Committee, seeks qualified individuals to serve as directors who bring a broad mix of experience, skills, knowledge, personal and professional backgrounds, age, tenure, and diversity to the Board. For more information on our Board please review our 2026 Proxy Statement on our Investor Relations Governance page or the Frameworks & Metrics section in the Appendix.
Global Gender Diversity4
As illustrated below, women continue to represent approximately 30% of GoDaddy’s global workforce, while non-binary employees continue to represent 0.2%.
U.S. Racial & Ethnic Diversity5
Employees of color represent 39% of GoDaddy’s U.S. workforce.
A Closer Look at U.S. Racial & Ethnic Diversity6
Employees who identify as Hispanic and Black increased by approximately one point each, while all other groups remained within a couple of tenths of percentage points year-over-year.
We recognize that ethnicity and race are distinct, and we continue to assess our data collection efforts against frameworks and guidelines from government reporting agencies and best practices. For more details on our workforce diversity, please refer to the Frameworks & Metrics section.
Pay Parity
Our compensation programs and practices are designed to pay our employees fairly based on the type of work they perform and their overall performance of such work. In 2015, we were among the first companies to publish pay parity results. We are proud to mark 11 years of sharing our gender pay data and nine years of U.S. race and ethnicity pay data. Our goal is to achieve $1.00-to-$1.00 pay parity after controlling for legitimate compensable factors, including role level, individual performance, tenure, location, and the timing of variable compensation such as bonuses and equity grants. We consider pay parity achieved when differences remain within a few cents on either side of the dollar.
Pay parity is not a one-time exercise, but an ongoing and rigorous process. We continue to partner with an independent third-party expert to conduct a multivariate regression analysis. This approach supports the use of established methods and standards and informs our ongoing analysis and mitigations. This also allows us to continue to provide transparency and accountability to current and prospective employees through publicly reported pay parity data. In addition, as pay equity frameworks and legislation evolve, we are better able to monitor our programs and compliance as needed.
Gender Compensation Data7,8
As illustrated to the right, GoDaddy-wide, we continue to maintain global gender pay parity, paying employees fairly and equitably regardless of their gender. This commitment spans all career levels globally, as we believe true equity involves everyone.
U.S. Race & Ethnicity Compensation Data9
We aim to pay employees fairly and equitably regardless of race and ethnicity. This data shows that people of color have comparable pay relative to white employees when performing comparable work.
