Riot Games staff became slightly more diverse, although share of new women hired declined

Riot Games has shared its annual diversity and inclusion report, showing its hiring practices and the share of different groups working at the company.

• In 2020, 24% of Riot staff worldwide were women, which is up 2% year-over-year.
• Women accounted for 29% of the company’s executive team, while 22% were underrepresented minorities. It is up 2% and 4% respectively year-over-year.
• The number of women hired by Riot in 2020 was 28%, which is down 4% year-over-year.

It is Riot Games’ second diversity report. The company shared the numbers for the first time last year in the wake of controversy around problems with its work culture. DFEH is now still investigating Riot Games over sexual harassment and other violations at the workplace.
