Google is still very white and very male
Its latest diversity report shows it still has work to do.
Mallory Locklear Mallory Locklear, 2h ago
Google released its annual diversity report today and though strides have
been made in some areas, in others, the company has shown little improvement
. Globally, Google is 69.1 percent male and in the US 53.1 percent of the
workforce is white, 36.3 percent is Asian, 3.6 percent is Latinx, 2.5
percent is black and 0.3 percent is Native American. Compared to last year,
the biggest gains were made in the representation of Asian employees, which
increased from 34.7 percent. But the percentage of women in Google's
workforce as well as the representation of black and Latinx individuals saw
hardly any change, increasing just 0.1 percentage point over the year.
Native American representation didn't change at all.
In regards to hiring, Google did have some successes. The number of women
hired for tech positions increased by one percentage point since last year
and 3.7 percentage points since 2014 when Google began releasing its
diversity report. Latinx hires increased overall by 0.4 percentage points
while hires of black employees in tech positions rose by just 0.1 percentage
point.
When it comes to retaining employees, Google is doing better in some areas
and not so well in others. While the company's attrition rate is lower for
women than it is for men, its highest attrition rates were for black and
Latinx employees. "A clear low light, obviously, in the data is the
attrition for black and Latinx men and women in the US," Danielle Brown,
Google's VP of diversity and inclusion, told TechCrunch. "That's an area
where we're going to be laser-focused."
For the first time, Google has included intersectional data in its report
and Brown told Wired, "It helps us really highlight where we are and aren't
making progress and ensuring that we don't leave anyone behind." The report
shows that for every race, there are fewer women than men. While three
percent of its workforce identifies as black or black and another race, only
1.2 percent of that category is women. For those identifying as Latinx -- 5
.3 percent overall -- just 1.7 percent are women.
Google is aware of its shortcomings. "The data in this report shows that
despite significant effort, and some pockets of success, we need to do more
to achieve our desired diversity and inclusion outcomes," is how the report
opens. And it does highlight some efforts the company is making to hopefully
address some of the areas that haven't seen much improvement. For example,
while the company has provided unconscious bias training, Brown says that's
not enough. "One thing we've all learned is that if you stop with
unconscious bias training and don't get to conscious action, you're not
going to get the type of action you need," she told TechCrunch. She says the
company has been providing ally training in regards to this effort. Brown
also notes that CEO Sundar Pichai now gets attrition reports every other
week.
Google's report also notes that its gender reporting isn't currently
inclusive of non-binary individuals. "We will consult on the best way
forward, taking into account research such as transgender-inclusive measures
of sex/gender for population surveys," it says.
This is the first report since James Damore released his anti-diversity
screed. Damore has since sued Google for firing him, but the National Labor
Relations Board said earlier this year that Google acted well within its
rights when it let Damore go. The company has also faced lawsuits for wage
discrimination and one from a former employee claiming he was fired for
speaking out against discrimination in the workplace.
"I hope what this report underscores is our commitment to this work," Brown
told TechCrunch. "That we know we have a systemic and persistent challenge
to solve at Google and in the tech industry." | S*****l 发帖数: 1043 | | a******d 发帖数: 955 | 3 把support staff比如清洁的厨师秘书等等全换成老黑劳模就好了, | S*****l 发帖数: 1043 | 4 那下次统计各种族平均薪水
