Intel announced<\/a> Monday that it had reached a diversity milestone that has some questioning an employee culture that would boast such low diversity numbers as an achievement.<\/p>\n

According to Intel, the company achieved this diversity milestone well ahead of its 2020 schedule, reaching a \u201cfull representation\u201d of women and minorities in its U.S. workforce.<\/p>\n

In January 2015, the technological behemoth pledged<\/a> to \u201cimprove diversity and inclusion in the entire technology industry,\u201d devoting $300 million to support this goal and investing in programs to expand STEM education access and opportunities in underrepresented communities, as well as internal programs. \u00a0At the time, Intel\u2019s U.S. employees consisted of 24 percent female, 8 percent Hispanic, and 4 percent black. Fast forward to 2018, and while Intel\u2019s diversity milestone represents a marked improvement from its previous figures, it still isn\u2019t exactly representative of the U.S. population in general or even the U.S. workforce.<\/p>\n

Intel\u2019s Diversity Milestone Not \u201cParticularly Aspirational\u201d<\/h3>\n

Intel\u2019s annual diversity report<\/a> indicates women now account for 26.8 percent of its US workforce. Hispanic and black workers now represent 9.2 percent and 5 percent of Intel\u2019s employees in America respectively. These numbers are obviously not exactly spectacular.<\/p>\n

However, Intel claims these numbers reflect the available talent pool and are merely an initial step toward achieving greater diversity aspirations. The tech company says that the term \u201cfull representation\u201d is in relation to market availability that the company determined from several sources\u2019 data, including the U.S. Census Bureau, internal company data, and the National Center for Education Statistics.<\/p>\n

The CEO and founder of the diversity-and-inclusion strategy company Paradigm, Joelle Emerson, conceded to the Wall Street Journal<\/a> that Intel\u2019s target was \u201cnot particularly aspirational.\u201d However, Emerson added that it \u201cmeans we are as representative as basically other organizations in our industry.\u201d But, the technology sector is not exactly known for embracing diversity, which could explain Intel setting its diversity initiative aims so low.<\/p>\n

Intel claims<\/a> that its difficulties with diversity and inclusion are directly related to the fact that 85 percent of its employees work in technical roles. However, Intel\u2019s non-technical employees are also overwhelmingly white at 66.2 percent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tech company indicates that its next diversity milestone will be to achieve inclusion on a global scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
