HP’s approach to fair and equitable pay

 

Why fair and equitable pay is a priority

We strive to pay HP employees fairly and equitably. Our culture—the HP Way—is rooted in values such as uncompromising integrity, trust, and respect, all of which guide how we treat each other. Equitable pay is vital to honoring that commitment.


It also benefits our business. Paying employees fairly helps HP attract and retain brilliant people in a fiercely competitive market for talent.

 

Our commitment to fair and equitable pay

We believe people should be paid for what they do and how they do it, regardless of their gender, race, or other personal characteristics.


To deliver on that commitment, we benchmark and set pay ranges based on market data, and consider factors such as an employee’s role and experience, the location of their job, and their performance. We also regularly review our compensation practices, both in terms of our overall workforce and individual employees, to promote fair and equitable pay.

 

Results of compensation reviews

Since 2016 and with the support of an independent third party, HP has reviewed the compensation of HP employees to ensure equitable pay practices. 

 

As part of our 2025 pay analysis, which covered approximately 94 % of the global workforce and considered factors relevant to employees doing the same or similar work, no evidence of systemic pay inequity was found in gender (for all countries where an analysis was performed) or race (for the United States only).


True to our cultural principles and business strategy, our aim is for HP to be regarded as a leader in providing fair and equitable pay to our employees. Going forward, we intend to perform these reviews at least annually.
