Ratio of basic salary and remuneration of women to men |

Process for determining remuneration |
We continually analyze compensation globally, accounting for multiple factors that influence pay such as tenure, geographic location and performance. Our most recent data analysis, done by a third party, shows that at VMware, women earn 99% of their male counterparts’ salary globally and racial and ethnic minority employees earn 100% of their white counterparts in the U.S. We are proud of these results and are strongly committed to pay equity and equal opportunity across gender and racial lines. |

Employees receiving regular performance and career development reviews |
VMware believes that by innovating new performance norms, we not only build stronger human relationships and improve communication between employees and managers, we also ensure we stay agile and responsive to the changes that naturally occur in the business environment. To this end, we encourage career development goal setting and conversations throughout the year. In 2019, 64% of employees were appraised based on management by objectives; 50% were appraised based on a multidimensional approach (e.g., 360 degree feedback), and; 96% of our managers completed our talent planning process. |
