Nike is raising the salaries of about 7,500 of its 74,000 employees on all levels around the world, starting in August, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. The wage review is intended to solve issues about equal pay and corporate culture. It comes after an analysis of all the roles within the group following a series of disclosures earlier this year about a lack of gender equality and poor workplace behavior within the group that led to the departure of Trevor Edwards, president of the Nike brand, and other major changes in the top management.
