The survey, organised secretly by a group of women at Nike’s Oregon headquarters, asked female workers at the firm whether they had experienced sexual harassment and gender discrimination. The completed surveys were handed to company CEO Mark Parker on 5 March. Many of those interviewed, across multiple divisions, also described a workplace environment that was demeaning to women. In an interview with Bloomberg News, Nike said it was “deeply concerned” about the findings. Nike has now launched a comprehensive review of human resources operations, revised internal reporting procedures and made management training compulsory.
