Adobe is a leading force in imagining the future of hybrid work: Its Lab82 internal experimentation engine, which started as a physical space at the company’s San Jose headquarters, has become a locus for researching the ways Adobe employees work. Setting aside resources for analyzing remote work has resulted in new strategies to more effectively integrate in-person and remote staff, including designated meeting facilitators and “stretch breaks” for well-being. &nbsp;Saving resources—both internally and for clients—has emerged as a big priority for Adobe. It’s partnered with the Environmental Defense Fund and the Environmental Paper Network to create a tool that helps businesses make their operations more sustainable.&nbsp; &nbsp;And in-house, Adobe has already met its 2025 Scope 1, Scope 2, and business travel emissions targets. Its Founders Tower office opened in January 2023, the first all-electric building of its scale powered by 100% renewable energy in Silicon Valley. Adobe expects to reach its 2035 climate targets by next year, a big step toward its goal of achieving net zero by 2050.

AI-Innovators-2023-Adobe

Adobe, the creative design and editing giant that brought in $17.61 billion in revenue during fiscal year 2022, has made a splash in the generative AI space. The company employs more than 29,000, and you might expect AI development to be sluggish as a result. But chief technology officer Ely Greenfield says that it mobilized quickly on years of data collection and research to launch Firefly in less than a year. 
 
&nbsp; 
 
Two things set this tool apart. First, it is integrated into tools that creatives already use. Photoshop users can deploy Generative Fill to implement text-to-image edits, like changing the pattern of a shirt or dropping a new object into the photo. Second, the generated imagery is, the company says, safe for commercial use, with Adobe offering to idemnify users against any copyright infringement claims. Firefly is trained on the company's vast catalog of Adobe Stock content, which it says it has the right to use for AI training (despite complaints from some Adobe Stock creators that they didn't realize they were giving Adobe the right to do this when they uploaded imagery.) Adobe is eyeing integrating generative AI into more tools in the Creative Cloud. 
 
&nbsp; 
 
In October the company unveiled Firefly Image 2, which brought quality upgrades to AI-generated images and allows users to pick specific styles that they want their generated image to resemble. The next frontier, said Greenfield, comes with artists’ acceptance of A.I. He sees a world in which artists could train A.I. on their own work and license it out.

Other benefits include 200 hours of backup childcare support annually; fertility benefits up to $60,000; enhanced parental leave with up to 26 weeks fully paid; $25,000 toward eligible adoption expenses; and a $600 wellness reimbursement fund.

Adobe sprang into action to address two major issues in 2020: the coronavirus pandemic and the social justice movement. At the beginning of the pandemic, the company made a bold commitment: It would not lay off any workers. “That gives employees a sense of security during this time when so many are struggling financially,” one employee notes. Adobe also extended its paid time off, giving employees 20 days of PTO, and boosted reimbursements for things like ergonomic workspaces at home, Internet bills, and wellness programs. Following the death of George Floyd, Adobe introduced Coffee Breaks, 30-minute, virtual speaker sessions aimed at building inclusion and empathy.

It may be best known for Photoshop, but Adobe has also built a sizable digital analytics business—one that became vital to government agencies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for example, used Adobe software to understand what citizens were searching for on its website, enabling it to disseminate more timely and relevant vaccine information. Adobe also helped the Census Bureau modernize its antiquated site and launch the first-ever online census for 2020—enabling millions of people to send in surveys at a time when many shunned public spaces like the post office.

The software giant continues to evolve. In its most recent quarter, Adobe’s digital media segment, its largest, grew by 19% year over year. The company’s subscription-based suite of tools for designing and publishing content and its software for document creation and electronic signatures (yes, PDFs are still big business) were largely responsible. And Adobe’s diverse mix of customers is also helping to future-proof its business. Sales of the company’s Advertising Cloud products have flattened lately, owing to increased competition from large players and a “significant global decline in advertising spending.” But the stock is up 150% over three years.

"Adobe recently gave its employees six months of parental leave, and what a blessing it has been. The announcement was made when I was five months pregnant and I was able take advantage of this amazing benefit. I had quality time with my son after his birth. I was able to heal and better understand the role of motherhood before coming back to a career that I love and enjoy. Had Adobe not offered this amazing benefit, I probably wouldn't have come back to my job and would have decided to stay home. It's not easy to be a working parent, but the environment that Adobe has created for its employees has fueled my desire to continue my career here. When I tell people that I get six months of maternity leave they say 'Can I get a job there?' It's definitely helped with female retention. The company has also created amazing 'mother's rooms' on-site, and supports groups like 'Nursing Working Mothers'—something you wouldn't find at most companies."
