I agree with the general sentiment of this comment, but would add that the employee breakdown should match the applicant pool's demographics, not the demographic breakdown at large. For example, to expect a gender breakdown close to 50-50 would be unrealistic in software engineering roles since generally women are less represented in those roles.
Though id love to see this shift (Women in stem!!)
- Fogest 4y agoSome companies do go out of their ways however to try and match that 50:50, or to get "equal" representation in races. Which really just turns into being discriminatory hiring, but they'll call it "diverse hiring".
- Akronymus 4y agoAnd those who fall into the category of being diverse will forever wonder if their ability got them the job, or id it was their diversity factor.
