🎙️ Welcome to Episode 152 of The Inclusive AF Podcast! 🎙️
In this thought-provoking episode, hosts Jackye Clayton (VP of Talent Acquisition and DEIB) and Katee Van Horn dive deep into the current political climate and its direct impact on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives—particularly focusing on law firms' responses to new administrative actions and EEOC investigations.
They break down:
- What recent government actions mean for DEI practitioners and organizations across industries
- Why some of the nation’s top law firms are scaling back or disbanding their DEI efforts out of caution—or fear
- The ripple effect on education funding, hiring practices, and historically marginalized communities
- How legal and political tensions are redefining the very landscape of workplace inclusion
- Practical advice for DEI professionals on walking the tightrope between compliance and championing real change
