Facebook Shows Little Improvement in Workforce Diversity

Facebook had hired thousands of employees to improve the diversity of its workforce, but it has seemingly failed to achieve the desired results.
The Facebook team is still dominated by white and Asian men. Diversity improved only marginally from last year although Facebook added 2,897 employees this year, TechCrunch reported, citing the company's latest demographic report. The 10,082-person company has only one percent more women as a share of all employees than a year ago despite a 40 percent increase in the head count.

The company has launched several initiatives to improve diversity, out of which the most noticeable is its diverse slate approach, which aims to "present hiring managers with at least one qualified candidate who is a member of an under represented group to fill any open role".
