2017 Gender Pay Gap Report
WELCOME TO OUR GENDER PAY REPORT Whirlpool Corporation wouldn’t be the global home appliance leader without our people. We encourage diversity and embrace teamwork, integrity and respect. It is very important to myself and my leadership team that we continue to grow this culture which recognises and values the contribution that both men and women make to our business. Ensuring that we continue to encourage career progression for everyone in our business, regardless of gender, has always been at the heart of our leadership team’s agenda. We remunerate and reward our people based on their performance and the contribution that they make. We work hard to provide both consistency and transparency within our pay decision-making process to ensure that decisions are made based on market data and role performance. I’m very proud to lead a strong and diverse workforce. Our gender pay gap compares well to both national and industry statistics but my team and I are committed to further reduce this gap in the coming years.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Continuing to make decisions on pay that are irrespective of gender. We’re very proud to have a diverse workforce and this is reflected in our business practices. Over the past few years we have worked hard to structure our organisation and our principles regarding rewarding and remunerating our people so that gender is not a factor. For example all our people in our call centre and engineering teams now have exactly the same rate for their role, regardless of gender or other aspects such as experience and age. We recognise that this is a journey and we have a strong focus to ensure we recruit, engage and retain more women in our team, especially in senior positions. This journey will continue to make Whirlpool Corporation a great place to work for everybody. It’s this principle that helps us to create moments that matter.
