Google has confirmed that it will no longer pursue hiring goals tied to representation, becoming the latest major US corporation to pull back on DEI-related policies. This decision indicates a broader trend among tech giants like Meta and Target, who are also scaling back similar initiatives. A Google spokesperson emphasized their ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive environment and stated that the company is currently evaluating its DEI programs and initiatives. In a recent memo obtained by Business Insider, Chief People Officer Fiona Cicconi outlined Google's strategy moving forward. While aspirational hiring goals set in 2020 aimed to increase leadership representation of underrepresented groups, including Black+, Latinx+, and Native American+ individuals, by 30%, the company now focuses on evaluating existing programs and adjusting them to ensure effectiveness and compliance with recent legal changes. This pivot reflects the changing landscape of corporate DEI efforts, especially in light of shifting political dynamics and federal requirements.
