Netflix Inc. has made gains in adding women and minorities to its workforce over the past three years, vaulting it past Silicon Valley peers, according to the entertainment company’s first-ever report on diversity and inclusion.
Women made up 47% of its workforce in 2020, up from 40% in 2017, and the company said it made similar-sized gains in adding female employees to leadership and technical positions. Women still account for under 35% of technical jobs, though.
