Last summer, over 47 million people quit their jobs in search of better workplaces and compensation. This “Grand Resignation” has led to a drastic shift in power dynamics as job seekers and employees have been empowered to demand more from their leaders and places of work. And with hiring at an all-time high, the demand for talent is greater now than ever before. 

Google understands the value of diversity and has made diversity, equity, and inclusion a part of its organizational values. Google has developed business initiatives to prioritize equity such as developing bias training for hiring managers, establishing various partnerships with social justice organizations and by pledging to hire 2X the number of underrepresented candidates globally. 

Research has shown that diverse, equitable and inclusive practices are fundamental to employee retention, healthy company cultures and the overall success of an organization.
