Twitter reveals its employees have equitable pay on #EqualPayDay
Twitter — the platform where many in the tech industry shared their equal pay stories and where Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg spread the message of her equal pay campaign #20PercentCounts — announced their own commitment in a tweet Tuesday.

It turns out Twitter has conducted its own study to determine that its employees are paid fairly, which they just decided to reveal in lieu with Equal Pay Day.
"Twitter has a longstanding commitment to paying our people equitably, across the board, and our compensation philosophy, strategies and practices reflect that," a Twitter spokesperson wrote in an emailed statement.
"We conducted an analysis comparing pay for women and underrepresented minorities in the U.S., including base salary, incentive compensation, and equity compensation, to ensure that we are paying people fairly. The results showed that women and employees of all races and ethnicities are paid equitably across the board at Twitter. We are proud of our results, and remain committed to ensuring pay equity for everyone, regardless of gender or race, now and in the future," the statement continued.
This doesn't mean that everyone at Twitter makes the same. Rather, people in similar positions are paid equitably, regardless of race and gender, according to Twitter.
To determine that Twitter employs were paid equitably, Twitter recruited an internal and external team of experts to run a recent study. Twitter declined to share the names of the external resources.
The study does not compare before or after data but instead the current state of the company. Twitter has 3,600 employees.
Despite this success in Twitter's state of the business, Twitter is not a leader in diversity. Its workforce is predominantly white and male. Underrepresented minorities held 9 percent of the technical positions at Twitter in 2016, up from 7 percent in 2016. Twitter's technical workforce is 15 percent women.
But the company has set goals for 2017:

More than 160,000 tweets about Equal Pay Day were sent over the last 24 hours.
Twitter's VP of diversity and inclusion Jeffrey Siminoff left the company on March 1. Twitter has yet to replace his role.
