Google Joins Companies Scrapping Diversity Recruitment Goals

Google has dropped its goals to recruit more workers from underrepresented groups, following an annual review of its corporate policies. The decision comes after US President Donald Trump’s administration ordered government agencies to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. Google stated it is committed to creating a workplace where all employees can succeed and have equal opportunities. This move follows other major companies such as Meta, Amazon, Pepsi, McDonald’s, Walmart, and Apple’s stance on diversity policies. The trend suggests that the US President’s administration is pushing back against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, with some companies reevaluating their policies in response to executive orders and court decisions.
