These 6 tech giants still haven't released their diversity data; Forbes, 1/27/15

Michal Lev-Ram, Forbes; These 6 tech giants still haven't released their diversity data:

"Below are six tech giants — IBM IBM -1.49% , Oracle OCLCF 4.06% , EMC EMC -2.30% , Broadcom BRCM -1.72% , SanDisk SNDK -1.39% and Qualcomm QCM — that have yet to release their data. A spokesperson for Redwood Shores, Calif.-based Oracle says the company has no plans to do so. A few other tech companies Fortune spoke to were more thoughtful in their responses, asserting that while they have yet to disclose their diversity numbers, they are engaged in active, internal conversations to determine when and how they should go about doing so.

Even among those technology firms that have released diversity data, some companies are more transparent than others. For example, not all tech firms have published the entire contents of their annual EEO-1 reports, a government form requiring many employers to provide a count of their employees by job category, ethnicity, race and gender.

And, of course, there is the issue of what happens after a company releases such data—after all, transparency alone isn’t enough to move the needle on diversity and inclusion."
