As an employer, it’s easy to feel paralyzed from the whiplash of the last decade. From #MeToo to COVID. From the great DEI awakening to the great resignation, it feels impossible to keep up with the pace of change. Now, with the Trump Administration’s Executive Order on DEI and major corporations dropping their DEI initiatives like a hot potato, we appear to be on the front end of a major backlash. How are employers supposed to navigate executive orders threating federal investigations into DEI practices after spending the last four years convincing their employees and customers of their commitment to DEI? We are now in a world where the only thing employees seem to agree upon is their right to sue their employer. 

Join us for a webinar where we discuss where we’ve been, what we’ve learned, and what the new lessons are for employers plunging headlong into the DEI backlash. In a world where employers face more contradictory demands than ever, they must double down on their commitment to their employees’ success.
