In response to employee questions about how the Supreme Court\u2019s affirmative action ruling would affect Redfin\u2019s diversity policies, Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman posted this message to a Slack channel for all employees.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The Court\u2019s Ruling Doesn\u2019t Apply to Redfin<\/h4>\n

Many Redfin employees have asked us about Thursday\u2019s Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action at Harvard College and the University of North Carolina. The ruling is limited to colleges that get federal funding, not businesses. Unlike colleges, Redfin does not and will not apply different hiring criteria to applicants based on their race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. We don\u2019t and won\u2019t consider those factors when evaluating an individual\u2019s performance. Our new-hire training, manager training and leadership-development program are for all employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We Make Data-Driven Decisions About Groups of People, Not Individuals<\/h4>\n

When we have data that indicates a large group of employees over many years is less likely to get promoted or more likely to quit, including Black real estate agents or managers of color, we work to solve that problem, often by developing a program focused on that problem. This is the oldest rhythm in human endeavors, to identify a problem and then to solve it. It isn\u2019t driven by preconceived notions about race or gender, or an obligation to right historical wrongs. But neither is it willfully blind to the ancient, tribal ways groups of people can make decisions and work together. We have to be careful and thoughtful about being fair.<\/span><\/p>\n

We Don\u2019t Care if Diversity is Fashionable or Unfashionable<\/h4>\n

The law will always support that. Beyond the law, last week\u2019s ruling may signal a shift in American culture away from diversity. As a real estate company, we won\u2019t be a part of any such shift. Our diversity is foundational to making housing accessible to all. If, as part of this shift, businesses\u2019 commitment to diversity becomes less trendy and more substantive, with less rhetoric and more results, I\u2019ll be relieved. We don\u2019t support diversity at Redfin because diversity is popular, or to tell people that we tried. We do it because the most basic obligations of power are to be welcoming and fair. In the courts and in our conscience, that\u2019s what we\u2019ll be accountable for.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
