Amazon will perform a racial equality audit of its hourly workers
Amazon will perform a racial equity audit of its nearly one million hourly employees, the company said last week in ato shareholders. The company is hiring a law firm to conduct the audit, which will be led by former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch and released to the public. But some critics say the audit should extend to the corporate level, instead of Amazon’s traditionally more diverse warehouse workers.
Amazon made clear that the purpose of the audit would be to study if there was any disparate racial impacts from its policies."The focus of the audit will be to evaluate any disparate racial impacts on our nearly one million US hourly employees resulting from our policies, programs and practices," the company said in its statement.after Amazon investors rejected 11 proposals from shareholders to improve racial equity and diversity at the company.
Amazon’s board of directors recommended against voting for the proposal. “Our current process to identify and nominate directors has successfully recruited diverse and qualified directors with extensive human capital management experience,” wrote the board.
