Uber Technologies Inc. today released 12 pages of recommendations stemming from Covington & Burling’s months-long investigation into the company’s corporate culture, a process that included more than 200 interviews with current and former employees about how the San Francisco-based ride-hailing giant’s workplace environment could have played a role in allegations of harassment and discrimination.
Minutes before the company began an all-hands meeting to discuss the investigation with employees, chief executive Travis Kalanick sent a memo about his decision to take a personal leave of absence for an indefinite period of time. The 40-year-old wrote in the memo that he buried his mother on June 9, after she died in a boating accident weeks prior.
