Google is the latest company to adjust its hiring policies in line with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) guidelines after former President Donald Trump took office. The official change was noted in Google’s annual report to investors, stating that “diversity, equity, and inclusion are part of everything we do” from 2021 to 2024. However, this statement has since been removed from the latest report.
A Google spokesperson confirmed that the company remains committed to creating a work environment where all employees can succeed and have equal opportunities. Previously, Google had a policy to increase the representation of underrepresented groups in leadership positions to 30% within 5 years, but recent reports from WSJ and BBC suggest that Google has ended this quota policy without official confirmation.
Other companies, such as Amazon and Meta, have also announced the discontinuation of their DEI policies in the past.
TLDR: Google adjusts hiring policies to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion, but recent reports suggest they may have ended their quota policy without official confirmation. Other companies have also made similar changes in their DEI initiatives.
