Google decided to reorganize the recruitment policy after the US President Donald Trump’s decree on the termination of the “diversity, equality and inclusion” (DEI) program. The company has announced that it will no longer set recruitment goals to improve the representation of the labor force.

The first clue that things can change on Google appeared in a change in the annual report of the parent company Alphabet. Alphabet’s “diversity, equality and inclusive everything we do to make a part of everything we serve and the use of the users of a workforce that represents a workforce,” said the sentence was removed.

Although Google will no longer set a target for recruitment, it will continue to support groups that are not represented enough and continue to open offices in cities where different groups live.

He made a similar change in meta. Meta, the owner of Facebook and Instagram, announced that it will end the DEI program applications in recruitment processes.

Google was one of the leading companies in 2020 after protests against the murder of George Floyd and other black Americans by police. In 2020, Sundar Pichai, CEO of the company, aimed to make 30 %of the managers by 2025 groups that were not sufficiently represented. At that time, approximately 96 %of Google’s US executives were white or asian, and globally 73 %were male.

What is Deı?

The DEI program called “Diversity, Equality and Inclusion” aimed to create a more fair and equal environment in workplaces and educational institutions. However, it has been criticized on the grounds that it has been politicized in recent years and imposed certain ideological approaches. Donald Trump signed the decree that terminated the Deı program that he found radical and extravagant on January 20th.
