Use the White House’s Policy Shift to Reexamine Your DEI Program and Eliminate Biases
In an exclusive interview with HR.com, Woods Rogers Principal and management-side employment lawyer Anne Bibeau provides guidance to human resources leaders about the evolving legal landscape involving DEI, pay equity, and workplace compliance. Anne offers key insights for leaders to navigate these complexities despite potential forthcoming changes.
When asked about companies pulling back on their DEI goals and policies, Anne says, “Hold your horses! President Trump’s Executive Orders are not law and do not supersede Title VII, other discrimination laws, or previous U.S. Supreme Court decisions.” Instead, she advises leaders to take the shift as an opportunity to examine their DEI program to ensure that it casts a wide net in hiring and that all employees are given the chance to succeed.
