In a significant reversal, Microsoft, alongside Google and Meta, has ceased the public release of its annual workforce diversity reports, ending a decade-long commitment to transparency. A spokesperson for Microsoft stated the company is moving beyond "traditional reports" to more "dynamic and accessible" formats that show inclusion in action, confirming its last report was published in October 2024. This coordinated move has drawn scrutiny from civil rights advocates, who suggest the timing may obscure the demographic impact of recent large-scale layoffs across the tech sector. The decision comes as many corporations face increasing political pressure regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The lack of quantitative data will make it more difficult for external organizations to hold these tech giants accountable for their DEI goals and the changing composition of their workforces.
