We implemented a full DEI initiative last year... strategic goals, inclusive hiring practices, employee resource groups, the whole deal. I poured months into it. And now, leadership is saying we need to dial it back because it’s starting to feel too political. No one will outright kill the program, but the funding disappeared and the priorities got reshuffled. It’s like we only cared when it was trending on LinkedIn. Has anyone figured out how to protect DEI work from becoming a PR stunt?

Could always start by telling them that making sure that hiring is inclusive isn’t political, to start

As a black woman, I just get tired of hearing about how “DEI is political” as if my existence is political.

There are already laws that protected you. It's called Title VII.

You can more than likely keep all the work you did, just stop using DEI to describe it. That is the trigger word that’s trying to be avoided now.
