Do you work at a company that has cut DEI work? If so, how was it explained or announced - if at all?

The company I work at cut its DEI programming and have not said a thing about it. We had quarterly programming in 2023 but it was completely removed for budgetary reasons in 2024. Nothing was said of it. In my opinion, I’m ok with that because the work wasn’t the type that would have really impacted the company.

Yep, my company cut our DEI funding without saying anything about it either. And tbh I felt the same way, it seemed like the funding was used for a lot of corporate trainings with very little impact. Do you feel like that's how DEI is everywhere? What impact is it really supposed to have?

What I’ve seen are goals set around metrics like the retention of minorities on staff. That’s been a positive impact I’ve seen at a past employer. In my view, DEI programs should be used for training, sure, but more about looking at the performance of the organization from an inclusion perspective and making adjustments if necessary.
