Dell Inc. UK Gender Pay Gap Report 2017
Diversity & Inclusion is a key business imperative at Dell Inc. We know Dell Inc.* is only as strong as the sum of its parts, and a more diverse team is a stronger team. It delivers more innovative ideas for our customers, which ultimately makes us all more successful. We all have a role to play in creating an environment where every team member, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, seniority or ability, feels valued and motivated to deliver their best work. It is because we have this focus and understanding, that we take our gender pay gap results as a call to action. While we are proud of the commitment our leaders have made to accelerate the movement of women into more senior roles, our gender pay gap results show that we have more work ahead of us, and a responsibility to deliver on that commitment. At the end of the day, results are what matter. Ours are not where we want them to be, so addressing the gender pay gap will remain a priority for us until it no longer exists. We confirm our gender pay gap calculations are accurate and meet the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap information) Regulations 2017. Claire Vyvyan, Senior Vice President, UK and Ireland Commercial Business Dayne Turbitt, Senior Vice President, UK and Ireland Enterprise Business *D ell Inc., our combined company in the UK, which formed in September 2016 when Dell merged with EMC globally
What is the UK Gender Pay Gap? The Gender Pay Gap is not equal pay. Equal pay is about women and men receiving the same pay for the same or similar job. We believe that equal pay is a business imperative and we are committed to it. The gender pay gap, on the other hand, looks at pay across all roles, regardless of whether the roles are similar or not. As a result, even where women and men are paid the same amount for the same work, there may still be a gender pay gap. It usually indicates that there are more men in senior positions, which have higher salaries. Changing this requires a deliberate effort to accelerate opportunities for women to progress into senior roles. We are fully committed to both equal pay for men and women and closing the gender pay gap. Dell in the UK Our 2017 results cover three entities of Dell Inc., our combined company in the UK, which formed in September 2016 when Dell merged with EMC globally: y Dell Corporation Limited y EMC Computer Systems (U.K.) Limited y EMC Europe Limited All meet the Government criteria of 250+ employees, therefore gender pay gap metrics for these three entities will be detailed in this report. The gender pay gap measures the difference between men and women s hourly earnings, regardless of the work they do. This includes base pay, allowances and any other bonus and incentive pay paid in April 2017. The gender bonus gap is the difference in all incentive pay received by men and women in the 12 months up to April 2017. This includes all bonuses, longterm incentives and sales commission payments. Dell Inc.(which includes Dell and Dell EMC) employs over 3,000 team members in the UK, 22.7% of whom are female.* *These statistics are from the total Dell employee population in the UK, including those entities with less than 250 employees.
While our results have been reported for three entities, we operate as one company in the UK, and around the world. At the time of the combination, our shared focus on diversity and inclusion presented a clear opportunity, is a critical part of our #culturecode, and a key business imperative, both today and going forward. Key Milestones September 2016 Dell and EMC combine along with VMware, Pivotal, RSA, SecureWorks and Virtustream to create Dell Technologies June 2017 Dell release their first combined Legacy of Good report which included a goal to support an inclusive culture by engaging 40% of our global team members in employee resource groups by 2020 Our 2017 results The table below shows our UK gender pay and bonus gap data. Company Gender pay gap Gender bonus gap Mean Median Mean Median Dell Corporation Limited -3.4% 16.9% 24.8% 26.3% EMC Europe Limited 38.5% 39.4% 56.1% 61.6% EMC Computer Systems (U.K.) Limited 25.6% 31.7% 41.0% 56.6% Understanding our Results At Dell Corporation Limited, our largest UK entity, the results demonstrate that women are paid a salary of 3.4% higher than men as a mean, and a gender pay gap median of 16.9%, which, while below the UK average, demonstrates we still have work to do. Our other two UK entities show a larger gender pay gap. Our analysis shows that the gender pay gaps at these entities are a result of a higher proportion of men than women in senior roles. We are committed to addressing this across all three entities through aggressive hiring and the development of women into senior roles.

We are focused on accelerating opportunities for women at senior levels Our leadership is committed to growing diverse teams. Dell s most senior leaders serve as executive sponsors for our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and our Chairman and CEO, Michael Dell, chairs Dell s Global Diversity Council. We are proud of our many Diversity and Inclusion initiatives designed to hire or promote women into higher paying positions. But we need to do more. Some of our current programmes include: Leading Women @Dell is a programme in collaboration with Simmons College School of Management, designed to meet the specific needs of senior level, high potential women with executive aspirations. Managing Success Now is a programme focused on mid-career high potential women, which helps arm them with the skills needed to propel their careers forward. MARC (Many Advocating Real Change) We were the first IT company globally to participate in the industry-leading MARC (Many Advocating Real Change) programme which engages leaders in candid conversations about the role of gender and diversity in the workplace as well as topics such as unconscious bias. The response from leaders of both genders to this Catalyst program has been overwhelmingly positive. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) creates opportunities for mentoring, leadership development as well as recruitment efforts by connecting team members around areas such as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and background. Our Women in Action ERG engages team members of both genders, holding development programs and networking events throughout the year designed to support the progression of women within the company. 50% of our graduate intake in the UK are female. 29.1% of our executive leaders are female.* This compares to 13% of executive leaders in other high tech companies in the UK. (Mercer: Comptryx, Gender Pay Gap in UK High Tech, 2016) We have committed to 100% executive participation in MARC unconscious bias training by the end of our fiscal year 2019. 34,000 team members participate in one of our 14 ERGs globally, with 300 chapters inn 60 countries around the world. * This statistic is from the total Dell Inc. employee population in the UK, including those entities with less than 250 employees.

But we recognise there is more to be done. The technology industry needs to grow its pipeline of female talent, so we are working with like-minded organisations to develop STEM initiatives to attract more young women to careers in technology.
