DEI, EO, EEOC, and the Great Confusion
It’s all very confusing. The Order: Discontinue illegal DEI, but no one really defines what illegal DEI is. The EEOC weighs in. But it still isn’t clear. What’s the right answer? In what direction should employers go? In this session we will discuss the law and the message, and they are not always the same. We will talk about illegal discrimination and programs designed to remove barriers for underrepresented groups. We cover the best ways to use numbers and ways we should avoid. And we discuss how to keep our training programs in compliance with the law. A must in today’s confusing legal landscape.
