Big Tech Firms Scale Back Diversity Data Disclosures Amidst DEI Scrutiny

Some big technology companies, like Google and Microsoft, have decided not to share as much information about how many men, women, and people from different racial backgrounds work for them this year.

They used to share these numbers every year to show how diverse their employees were.

Apple and Amazon are still sharing their numbers.

Some people think this change might be because of new rules or pressures related to diversity and inclusion programs.

It can make it harder for workers and groups that want to help companies have employees that look like the people in the country.

Google has shared its numbers since 2014, showing progress but also that some groups are still underrepresented in important jobs.

Microsoft says they are changing how they share this information, using videos and stories instead of just numbers.

Meta, another big company, also isn't sharing this year but didn't say why.
