More than half of companies that have done away with DEI policies or scaled them back say it was political pressure or public scrutiny that led to the decision.
It never should have been loud in the first place. Just have them. Do them. It doesn’t even need to be called DEI. These are things that should exist as a norm.
Honestly, I feel like most companies didn’t do a big marketing thing about this stuff. If was commenting that pretty much just got promoted on the careers page so applicants knew about the company culture
Also, because HR usually owns the careers page, and DEI teams usually roll in HR
To me if they made a big deal about it, it’s because they weren’t actually making a big deal about it. Where are the metrics?
If I work for a company that has a DEI policy, and I think my manager fired me because they don’t like something about me that falls into that category, there’s not much recourse for that because there is a DEI policy in place so obviously it was my “job performance.”

Exactly. And if you want DEI removed, you’re gonna have to define it for me. Cause all I hear is “woman and minorities.”
I like to ask them which letter of DEI they think is the worst one and watch them realize they can’t answer without being a bad person.
“systemic human resources roadblock removal”
SHRRR
