Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Google announced it will abandon its diversity hiring targets and review other diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This decision aligns with similar moves from major companies like Meta and Amazon and responds to recent regulatory changes and court rulings related to DEI policies. The company looks to align its practices with new government contractor requirements while maintaining some support programs for underrepresented employees. Despite a history of ambitious DEI goals initiated after the 2020 George Floyd protests, Google will no longer pursue specific diversity targets.
