Uber
Uber can be taken as a remarkable example when it comes to diversity hiring. Recently, Uber invited applications for its UberStar internship program coming under the She++ initiative, under which they received 700+ applications from all over the globe including the US, Canada, Kenya, Uganda, UAE, Turkey, Ethiopia, and South Africa. Out of these 700+ applications, the number of PWD applicants touched 338. Uber is planning to declare the results on International Women’s Day, having 150 applications in assessment.

Top 6 Companies With Diversity Hiring Initiatives
In recent years, an increasing number of organisations have realised that a diverse workforce is important for attracting and retaining top talent. Some companies have devised exceptionally inventive strategies for employing individuals from diverse backgrounds. Companies prioritise diversity and inclusion for several reasons, including the fact that teams that have individuals from diverse backgrounds generate innovative ideas. McKinsey and other companies have shown that diverse leadership teams generate greater revenue. In general, progress has been slow when it comes to gender and cultural representation, but companies are still not always consistent. A study by McKinsey says that the gap is growing between I&D (inclusion and diversity) experts and companies that haven’t adopted diversity yet. One-third of the companies that were taken into account have made real progress in terms of diversity at the senior level over the last five years. The majority, on the other hand, have made little to no progress, and some have even gotten worse.
