Indian Motorcycle has a Diversity and Inclusion rating of 3.2 out of 5 stars, based on 12 anonymous employee ratings. This is equal to the average for D&I ratings in the Manufacturing sector. The average D&I rating left by 12 employees decreased over the last 12 months.

After you post here send them an email at media@harley-davidson.com.

I ride a Harley and have expressed myself to them.

Because of criticism. Yes. Hmmm... Likely because sales stopped.

"We are saddened by the negativity on social media over the last few weeks, designed to divide the Harley-Davidson community," the company said...

I don't get the sense that the HD community was in any way divided on the topic. Pretty much unanimous, in fact.

Without being rapacious...

The purpose of any business formed in a capitalist society is to create and produce things — including services as well as hard goods — and make money for the investors.

Anything significantly impairing that will eventually be tossed aside.

Trends and fashions are fine, but some make too much drag.

I always thought this was mostly obvious.
(Perhaps it’s my New Englander upbringing...)

It’s what they are teaching in Business Schools nowadays.

“Companies are formed for the benefit of the workers and society.”

TRASH..................

No… same CEO, same board. And an apology blaming customers saying they were disappointed in the response.

Yes until they fire the ceo and the board don’t expect them to truly change

“...a move that comes after it faced pressure from anti-diversity critics on social media.”

Liars. The critics are NOT anti-diversity, they’re anti-racism and pro-meritocracy.

If the activist CEO and board remain, claiming to change policy means nothing. The people who made those policies will just wait awhile then rebrand them and bring them back.

I hope these go the way of the dodo bird when wokeists go extinct from tampon blockages.

Too late. This could go down as the biggest example of brand suicide in American history. At least with the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light mess that could be blamed on some unknown underlying.

Harley Davidson chose this clown as CEO. Screw HD. Let that company rot.
