Google’s Tech Staff is Only 1% Black

In 2016: 70% of Google's global workforce is male. They have also announced plans to invest $150 million in workforce diversity initiatives.

Diversity is everyone’s problem. Being a big company doesn’t mean you’re excluded from needing diversity. Along with that stat, only 2% of Google’s tech staff is Hispanic, and only 17% are women. When the number of college IT graduates is several times that number, it shows how little big companies take diversity into account. They also show that not having that many diverse people apply isn’t a skills problem, it’s an imagination problem.

A: Your fact of how 70% of Google's global workforce is male does not surprise me as the majority of people in STEM fields are men. This fact does not upset me, but I can only hope that more women join STEM fields as it is inspiring since there are such stereotypes that women are not suitable for this field. I predict it will impact change in the workforce as women will be too intimated to join workforces such as Google where there are more men, and scared of facing prejudice due to their gender.

It shows that institutionalized discrimination still exists. I believe that hope is not lost because we are now living in a time where it is impossible to block the voices of million of women who are speaking out to this unequal treatment. - Alexandra Tshileo]]> 2018-03-06 01:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238417085 https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238435383 2018-03-06 02:57:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238435383 https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238452910 @Thirpam- It surprises me that African Americans are less likely to get invited to job interviews  because I always expect that when I go to interviews, managers will hire applicants based on their skills and experience and what a person is capable of and not judge by their appearance  but, with what I found out it change my views. Excluding African Americans would impact change in the workforce because the opportunity of discovering different skills  from other people can cause fewer discoveries and improvement.]]> 2018-03-06 04:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238452910 https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238515617 A 2016 study by both Harvard and Princeton led the the findings that blind auditions lead to an increased likelihood of between 25% and 45% chance that women will get hired as opposed to regular interviews.]]> 2018-03-06 09:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238515617 https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238750406

Businesses just don't give them the opportunity to show what they're capable of.  I believe this study might impact how interviews are done in the future because this way people will get hired based off what they can offer to a company/business rather than their gender.]]> 2018-03-06 17:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/238758555 https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/243140350 Queen.- Ethnic diverse companies are 35% more likely to earn above average profits than non-ethnic companies. It does not surprise me .Because,i believe that diversity brings out different ideas and this can help a firm to gain more income. I can predict that this statistic will open the eyes of the non- ethnic diverse companies and make them also focus on employing people regardless of their ethnicity so as to also gain more profits.    ]]> 2018-03-18 03:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/243140350 https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/243318928 2018-03-19 04:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/243318928 https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/243323995 @Charlotte - Teams where men and women are equal earn 41% more revenue. This statistic doesn't surprise me because, obviously, intelligence isn't determined by gender. It makes me happy because it is supporting that companies should be more diversified. This clearly shows that when men and women are employed based on their skills and knowledge rather than their gender, the results are better and the revenue is higher. This statistic is promoting gender-diversity. ]]> 2018-03-19 04:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/243323995 alanna_vandewint https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/251224077 2018-04-12 15:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_vandewint/guk6mkhgvmov/wish/251224077
