Google rethinks how it handles 'sensitive' employee exits after controversy over AI researcher's departure

Jeff Dean, Google's head of AI, announced several policy changes in an internal memo Friday, a copy of which was obtained by CNN Business. The changes include having HR employees review "sensitive" employee exits. Dean also said the company will work to address diversity issues by "more than doubling" the staff that works on retaining Google employees. Additionally, he said Google will make diversity, equity and inclusion efforts part of the performance evaluations for Google employees at and above the vice-president level.
