Facebook aims to double women workforce across the world

San Francisco: Facebook aims to double the strength of women workers globally in the next five years, along with doubling black and Hispanic employees in the US.
In its 2019 diversity report, Facebook said it has people of diverse backgrounds and experiences, more people of colour, more women in both technical and business roles, and more under-represented people in leadership.
“Most notably, we’ve achieved higher representation of women in leadership by focusing on hiring and growing female leaders within the company. Over the last several years, the majority of new female leaders were internally promoted,” Maxine Williams, Global Chief Diversity Officer at Facebook said in a statement on Tuesday.
