Harley-Davidson Hits Brakes on DEI

Harley-Davidson indicated in a social media post Monday it has ended its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program, saying it has “not operated a DEI function since April 2024.”

“We see it as every leader’s role to ensure we have an employee base that reflects our customers and the geographies in which we operate,” the company said in a statement posted to the social platform X.

“It is critical to our business that we hire and retain the best talent and that all employees feel welcome,” the statement continued. “That said, we have not operated a DEI function since April 2024, and we do not have a DEI function today. We do not have hiring quotas and we no longer have supplier diversity spend goals.”
